my four year old son has a really dry nose inside and he kind of nlows down it every five minutes or so making a horrible noise like an old man. It's also really annoying him and me - anyhting I can do? I was thinking of puutting his head over a bowl of hot water with menthol over it or buying some kind of machine, forgotten what it's called that I borrowed from mys sister when my daughter had a cold which helped her breathe more easily, a dehumidifier or something, any suggestions?

its probably the central heating drying up his nose. eventually he will get used to it. i'm not sure steam will help, it may make it sore.

what about a little light mosturiser just put on the inside of his nostrils... it might help?
