DD (7 months) has a streaming nose and can't settle/sleep. What can I use to dry it up?

DD is 7 months and has had a runny nose for about 6 weeks. I think it's been a mix of a cold and teething, but it's just non-stop streaming. For the last couple of nights it's been so bad that she's barely slept and as a result neither have we. Saline nose drops seem to make it worse. I put Olbus oil on a tissue in her room which helps clear it a bit but I get the feeling that after 6 weeks of daily (or nightly) use it's becoming less effective. She's got the head of her cot raised.

Are there any nose drops or something I could use to dry up a runny nose? Any recommendations?

You need a snot sucker. You can get them from most chemists. It's quite repulsive but works!!
