Reviews about LinAqua baby
There are quite a few reviews about LinAqua baby, and they are almost all positive. Parents of young patients note the ease of use of the drug, its natural composition and affordable price. They speak especially well of the preparation packaged in unidose with a safe non-sharp tip. Parents point to a good result of using LinAqua baby in the complex treatment of a cold, as well as a convenient volume of packaging. In infants, according to reviews, one unidose is enough to wash 2 nasal passages, and in older children, 1 unidose is used to wash each nasal passage. The advantages of the product also include the possibility of using the solution remaining in the unidose after washing for 12 hours.
When using the spray, some parents point to a slightly sharp stream of solution injected into the nasal cavity, and therefore do not recommend using the drug for very young children.

All users believe that LinAqua baby is only an adjunct in the treatment of rhinitis and should only be used in combination with appropriate remedies.
