handemade Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My 4 years old daughter has got blocked nose... Any advice? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Teach her to blow it? (By demonstrating). If it's too blocked, she will breathe through her mouth. Prop her up a bit in bed (extra pillows). Snufflebabe is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs gough Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Blocked as in: cold? Try some Vicks, Olbas Oil or Snuffle babe. I've always used them on my children and they really do help. Hope she's feeling better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In certain old world tribes the mother sucks on the nostrils (one at a time) to clear offending material. You may just want to get something from the chemists though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfa Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Put the shower on really hot, shut bathroom door and sit in there with her for half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Oh, yuck. That put me off my Horlicks! My apologies. You can use a nasal aspirator as a substitute. Now drink up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Are you sure it's actually blocked, or are her nasal passages swollen? If swollen, I'd go the Vick's route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may just want to get something from the chemists though. I was told this wonderful advice! My 3 week old grandson had a very large dry bogie blocking his nose, he was struggling to drink his bottles so I thought I'd give it a try so I gave a little suck which seemed to loosen it but everytime he would just breath it back up. On the last attempt I gave a quick suck, the bogie flew to the back of my throat! I couldn't get it out and was nearly choking/vomiting, in the end I just swollowed it! I'm feeling sick now just thinking about it. So if you do take that advice be warned, don't suck too quick! ---------- Post added 29-01-2014 at 23:22 ---------- Oh, yuck. That put me off my Horlicks! Don't read the above! You've been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
