Sinupret Kids Syrup, Sinus Respiratory & Immune Support, 3.38-Ounce

Oh my goodness. You know when you get a product that delivers, it is just that wide-eyed, wondrous amazement and overwhelming satisfaction you get because you get what you are looking for. Well, this is it. I am a worrisome parent of a 3-year old girl who has, unfortunately, had issues with congestion, sinus infection, and runny nose since, well, since she was born basically. I have never tried any OTC decongestants or nasal sprays due to the warnings of giving those types of products to children under 4 years of age. However, when this season's sinus congestion and yellow snots came, it hit hard. My daughter was unable to breathe especially during nap and bedtime. She would wake up crying and screaming because of the fact that her sleep was disturbed by her lack of breathing. Now, I'm not going to say this product made her sleep consistently and made the congestion disappear, but when you need something to BREAK up the mucus and congestion, this product does it. During the day, I gave her as instructed, 3 doses (the smallest amount). The first day, I gave her 1/2 of the instructed amount of her age (so 1/4 teaspoon according to their provided measuring cup). That first day, it started to gradually work, in my opinion. The mucus was coming out consistently throughout the day and she was blowing her nose consistently. Then on the 2nd day, WOW... it just started pouring out! It's that relieving sound of mucus breaking apart and getting out of her system rather than being stuck somewhere back in her nose or throat where you can't get it out with a bulb or Nose Frida (although that helps as well). Finally, on the 3rd day I gave her the full 1/2 teaspoon per dosage, and her runny nose and congestion seemed almost to be fully gone during the day. However, at night, it came back with a vengeance. Although it came back, I believe that the product helped to minimize the amount of congestion, help most of it come out, and PREVENT further sinus infection that might require an antibiotic. Today (Day 4) she is still blowing her nose with a lot of mucus coming out, but again, it's coming out and that's a good sign. It helped that this product is recommended by Dr. Sears whom I follow online whenever my kid comes down with symptoms such as this. A very trusted resource. It also was my first time purchasing this type of product online so I was quite wary of giving my daughter the Sinupret, but I took the chance and both my husband and I are impressed and really satisfied with its effectiveness.

Can't say enough how much I love & believe in this product. In nearly 10 yrs with 3 kids we have had a total of one real cold hit this home and I was literally out of sinupret when it hit. That lack of sniffling is due to sinupret I believe. With this, we see symptoms reverse & dissipate usually within 24-36 hrs max. Any time I know we have been exposed I go ahead & give dosing for 24hrs after...like after a big play group, going to a bounce house, etc. You would need to talk to YOUR Dr about it, but I was allowed to also take this while pregnant & breastfeeding & anyone who has ever felt crappy at those times knows how limited your options are on what to take...and this has worked wonders. But more importantly, as a mom of 3...I have never sat up at night listening to a bad cough, never had to bust out a humidifier or dealt with snot sucking, no lie. I truly think this is a wonder booster to the immune system & am sooooo thankful someone introduced it to us early on. I can't tell you how many illnesses we have avoided with this. And yes, I take the kids...I don't stock both & there are directions on here for adult dosing as well as kid dose. Also talk to your Dr about pediatric dosing, I was given the clear by that Dr too to administer this at younger ages than listed. I do think you should always talk to YOUR Dr though. Everyone's health & biology can vary & I do NOT endorse off label use without consulting someone you trust with your health, like your OWN physician(s).

I bought this for my 2 year old son who has constant congestion. He tends to get colds and then just swallow all the mucous, vomit, spikes a fever, has a febrile seizure, and sometimes end up with a sinus infection. We tried everything. Sinupret thins out the mucous so I can get it out of his nose. It tastes good too so I didn't have to wrestle a 2 year old to the ground either. As soon as he took it, the snots came running out and I could grab them with a tissue. One problem. He is allergic to everything. By the second day, he did get a slight rash across his stomach and I can't really say what caused it because he tends to get these rashes a lot.Also, I did notice that there is a tiny, tiny bit of alcohol in it. My guess is that the manufacturers need to put this alcohol in it to dissolve everything. So just don't give it to a child under 2. I did clear it with his Pediatrician before giving it to him and she said it was fine but to follow the dosage correctly.Part 2: I got a terrible sinus infection. green snots for weeks, eye and nose pain, fatigue etc. My doctor said to take Mucinex which did work, but put me to sleep. I tried other decongestants and they made me jittery. Then I remembered I had the Sinupret in the back of my medicine closet. It thinned the mucous right out without any side effects. It actually worked BETTER than the decongestants too. I am ordering the adult tablets next. I find that taking it with one ibuprofen works best. The ibuprofen reduces the inflammation and cuts the pain and the Sinupret thins out the mucous so you can get it out of your nose. Sit in the shower with some steam after taking it and you will feel much better.
