Little noses saline spray?

thanks! sammy gets a hug (sami also!)

... he did use the neti pot, but he says it didn't help much. also he has a grudge against it, even tho his grandmother taught him to use it.

No clue on the cold medication, but I hope he feels better soon!

And I got your valentine yesterday, it was awesome! Thanks so much, hon. &hearts

I was going to say saline, but someone else has already suggested it. I hope your boy is feeling better. Poor little sore nose. Is he using those soft Kleenexes with aloe in them?

I did get him a box of nice aloe tissues, which he likes. He is still miserable, but at least it is bed time.

My doctor always recommends Mucinex and Delsym.

Mucinex with thin the mucus and improve drainage. Delsym will deal with the inevitable cough that comes from the drainage.

It may make the runny nose a little worse but I think it will be better in the long term to get it done with.

My $US0.02.

I have never tried Mucinex and all of a sudden different people have been recommending it. for tonight, i just dosed him with a Benadryl. Hopefully he will at least sleep!

In THIS icon, Dean has an awful cold and Sammy is only snuggling him to make him feel better. I hope Sam does not catch it, since that was also my job all night last night!

If you've already got a neti pot, I'm not sure what else to recommend, but I hope he feels better. <3

Also, thank you so much for the fabulous unicorn valentine! :D
