Saline drops - get them from the chemist - it's horrible squirting them up their little nose, but they work a treat

Saline drops?

[whingeomatic]

You can get saline nose drops from the gp (or chemist if you don't mind paying!!) - just squirt them up and it makes the snot runnier so it can drain away (nice...)

We had them on repeat prescription when dd2 was newborn!!
