Our GP prescribed infant otrivine (for under 2s) so you might want to give your GP a ring and see if it is okay to give her (if the other stuff doesn't work). Quite often medication will say not for under 2 unless under medical advice. ]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 20:09:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8010&PID=155586&title=help-snotty-nose-remedies#155586 <![CDATA[HELP!

We were given the Junior Otrivine by the chemist but it says "over 2yrs", dumb chemist! I was even buying Teethmed at the same time so I KNOW I told them how old she was!

P.S
Where's my manners? tut tut
Thanks for all the suggestions, we've raised the cot and have done the saline drops too, man did she scream! Fingers crossed for a better night

Saline drops are wonderful here too, and then to dry things up a little our GP prescribed us some Dimetapp Infant, which I give Erin just before she goes to bed. Fortunately she seems to be finally clearing up, since I have run out of the Dimetapp now anyway Hope you can "turn the taps off" for Caitlin soon !]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:25:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8010&PID=155509&title=help-snotty-nose-remedies#155509 <![CDATA[HELP!

Awww sucky. I am sorry you had a crap night! I hope tonight is better for you.

The only other thing we used was saline solution. I know you can make it yourself, but I always got it from gp when we were there. (maybe Google it and it will give you the recipt)

The only other thing I use is Saline drops up the nose, it tends to clear it out so they can breathe easier. But make sure you have a tissue on hand when you do it cos it can clear it out quite fast! for the lack of sleep!]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:17:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8010&PID=155130&title=help-snotty-nose-remedies#155130 <![CDATA[HELP!

I have no other ideas apart from what you've got there! We've got a snotter here too and she does the whole cough/choke thing when she gets wound up We used Karvol and then ended up using Pamol when she was really starting to get scratchy. Loads of liquids and tissues too!

Hope things start drying up soon!]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:13:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8010&PID=155126&title=help-snotty-nose-remedies#155126 <![CDATA[HELP!

Is there anything else that I’m not already doing that will clear Caitlin’s snotty nose? It’s streaming and she is REALLY unsettled (got a total of ONE hours sleep last night). It’s clear mucus so there’s no infection but she is coughing/choking on it when it goes down the back of her throat

This is what I have been doing:
Natropharm Coldmed
Eycalyptus oil on PJs (was using Karvol capsules before this)
Vicks in hot water next to her cot
Pamol
Nasal aspirator (to suck the snot out) she really didn’t like this (but who would?!?!)
