syne Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 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! It's horrible but it does work.. -shudders- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs gough Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The old remedies are always the best. Well, sometimes. Well it did work, he had a full bottle and a great nights sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeMac 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. Or, try Olbas Oil. That might work. It certainly tastes and smells better:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 My 4 years old daughter has got blocked nose... Any advice? Many Thanks olbas oil in warm water near her bed and leave it there for a good few hours before she goes to sleep. if you can, place a mug of water on a radiator with the oil in. This helps keep the nose moist by adding a little humidity to the air and the albus will help unblock the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
