Why is nasal irrigation not recommended for children under 4 years old?

The Sinus rinse is not recommended for children under 4 years old due to the force of the water jet and the amount of water irrigated into the nose. Using a syringe technique with a smaller volume of water can be a safer and more controllable option for younger children. The Sinus rinse can typically be used in children starting from 2 years old, as mentioned in the hospital's information booklet.
