My DD seems to have a constant runny/snotty nose for about 8-9 months of the year. It went away during the summer but came back in the last week of August. Sometimes it's just clear fluid but other times it's actual snot (not green as in when there's usually an infection but just that pale snot colour).
I KNOW it's normal for kids to pick up all sorts constantly especially in the winter months but no other kid seems to have it as bad as her. She's fit and well generally otherwise.
She started reception last week and so we obviously did lots of photos, there was lots of meeting of new people, walk to school etc. I feel like I was mopping her nose every couple of mins and when she comes out at the end of the day it's always a bit crusty with dry snot. She does know how to wipe her nose but of course if she's busy with a whole new routine to get used to she's not going to do it as often as needed and also I don't want to make a huge deal because eventually she'll get self-conscious about it.
We took her to the GP last year who just put it down to general colds, said it's normal etc. He did prescribe a nasal spray which didn't really do much.
To paint a whole picture she has no allergies and she has a Multivitamin everyday. I suppose she could have more variety of fruit and veg but her diet is very typical of a normal child. She has higher sleep needs than most but has always done since she was a baby - although I am starting to think she may be iron deficient?
Has anyone been through similar and can give any advice? Any supplements I could consider that may help?
