Every year, over 3 million people are treated for sinusitis.
The two most common types of sinus infections are classified as acute and chronic.
According to Google feedback: "Acute sinusitis can be triggered by a cold or allergies and may resolve on its own. Chronic sinusitis lasts up to eight weeks and may be caused by an infection or growths."
"Acute sinusitis usually doesn't require any treatment beyond symptomatic relief with pain medications, nasal decongestants, and nasal saline rinses. Chronic sinusitis may require antibiotics.”
Some parents however, have utilized homemade remedies or treatment options — such as "nasal washes" — which they've claimed successful.
This particular father, came across a product called Nasopure; a nasal wash he used on his little daughter — who had a sinus infection at the time — and ended up buying for his whole family.
The product is a mixture of Pharmaceutical-grade Sodium Chloride and Sodium Bicarbonate which has been proven to aid in the removal of allergens and harmful bacteria around the nasal opening.
After the father filmed a video of his little girl having the infection radically removed from her nasal cavities, he uploaded the video and it became an instant hit.
The result was a staggering amount of concerned parents and people from all over the web searching for answers and questioning the treatment.
The father then decided to write a disclaimer in the video description that read:
Disclaimer:
"Always see a doctor before following anything you watch or read about videos on the internet(including our video). Many people watch something and get obsessed with it."
"Remember, we have managed to fix pretty much all our family health problems by simply staying in momentum with everything we do and take. We never take too much of 1 single vitamin or abuse with healthy "so called" super food, plants, fruits or vegetables (or tea)."
They created a small list where they answered the most commonly asked questions and concerns and added it to the video description.
1) We never share our Nasal wash bottles between family members, 1 Nasal Wash bottle per person.
2) We do not use normal water, our water has been distilled (and filtered) with the use of an electric distiller.
3) You should always buy the manufacturer's salt(in this case Nasopure) for your Nasal wash bottle, their salt has been manufactured for this purpose.
4) We clean our Nasal wash bottle with white Vinegar but always clean/remove the vinegar with clean distilled water.
5) Yes nasal irrigation machines, nasal wash bottles or anything you use in life (even your toothbrush), can get infected with dangerous bacteria and if you are careless, you increase your risk of contracting them, be smart and keep everything clean. We clean everything with white vinegar.
6) We never clean our nasal passage with hot, dirty, too salty water, as it might destroy our delicate mucous membranes.
7) The "KKKKKKK" sound Kaylee is making is simply done to ease the pressure in her ears.
