Hypertonic Saline Use for Children

[anonymous]

Hi all...I am relatively new to the forum...I have been reading for some time...but I have never asked a question...I would love some input on this...my 11 year old daughter has been on HS for about six months now...my concern is the % strength...and the storage...does anyone know the recommendations for children and HS??? Thanks!

Hi, my daughter is 4 and we use HS as well. I find it works great!! We store it in the refrigerator and was told only to keep it for one month. We currently use 6% strength but i believe as she gets older they will increase it to 7.5%. This varies between patients so check with your physio. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
