Lilypie First Birthday tickers
Thursday, July 7, 2011
We were at Nick's softball game last night and Kostya was so great the entire time! It has been the first warm softball game we have been to all year! He was out of his stroller and sitting on my lap talking and looking at everything the whole time. But his eyes were also watering and his nose was running so I'm thinking his has allergies. poor guy was choking on snot all night so we had to sleep sitting upright. I am on a search for a humidifier and nasal spray but do you guys know of anything else I can do to help him?

I'm a new believer in the humidifier--it really works wonders! You can also try elevating the head of his bed a bit so that he's not lying flat. And squirting saline drops up his nose and then sucking it out with a bulb syringe seems to help some, too. Good luck--snotty, congested kids are no fun!
ReplyDeletewhat's helped me and my mom (we both get congested and sinus infections super easy) is this thing called a 'nielmed sinus rinse'... the starter kit comes with the bottle you use and 50 salt packets, and just dump one of the salt packets into the bottle, mix it with luke-warm water, and squirt half of it up one nostril and the other half up the other nostril... maybe something for when he's a little older and has learned to hold his breath when you squirt it up his nose, but it totally wipes out a ton of snot... you can get it at Safeway, but make sure you DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE SALT PACKET IN THE BOTTLE BEFORE YOU SQUIRT IT UP ANY NOSES! it hurts pretty bad, and so does the water when it's too hot
