Children's Sorine is a spray medicine, which contains 0.9% sodium chloride, also known as saline, which acts as a nasal fluid and decongestant, facilitating breathing in situations such as rhinitis, colds or flu.
This remedy is available in pharmacies, for a price of about 10 to 12 reais, not requiring the presentation of a prescription to buy.
How to use
This remedy can be used about 4 to 6 times a day, or as needed. As it does not contain vasoconstrictor in its composition, children's Sorine can be used frequently and for prolonged periods
How it works
The children's Sorine helps to decongest the nose, respecting the physiology of the nasal mucosa, since it moistens the mucus accumulated in the nostrils, facilitating its expulsion. Sodium chloride at a concentration of 0.9% does not interfere with the ciliary movement of the nasal mucosa, enabling the elimination of secretions and impurities that may be deposited on the nasal mucosa.

Possible side effects
Infantile Sorine is generally well tolerated, however, although it is very rare, its prolonged use can cause medicated rhinitis.
