hes ok during the day but the last 2 nights have been hard where hes so snotty hes hard to settel

sorry left hand typing! decongestant!!

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

Saline drops?

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!!

iv got saline drops but they dont seem to help that much and hes got a chesty cough so i wanted to try and help the cough
