My daughter has a really bad stuffy nose. I have tried to give me medicine for it and NOTHING has helped. I even used the boogie sucker thingy and that doesn't even seem to help. I feel bad for her. Shes not coughing she just has a stuffy nose. Any suggestions on what I can do to help her would be great. Thanks..

Use Vicks Vapor rub. Put a little dab underneath her nose. It will clear her up fast. You could also use a warm vaporizor in her room during naps and at night. Rub some Vicks on her chest at night before bed too. It may help open her sinuses.

Have you tried a humidifier at night or vapor bath stuff in her bath?I know those two things only work when in use but it works with my daughter for when she sleeps and relieves her while she is in the bath. Have you tried vicks vapor rub? Put some on her chest and rub it in and that may help. I was just in the same position you were in and nothing worked and so I had to get something from the doctor but if you havent tried the vicks vapor rub try that. Good Luck!!

the nose pump is the best way. Are you using it right? You are suppose to squeeze the pump put it to her nose then let the pump go. Once the air starts to rush back into the pump it should pull out the boogies.

A vicks vaporizor with the medicine used in it. It works great, but they are a pain in the butt! Also, vicks baby vapor rub on the chest and back works really good too! Good Luck!

when putting her to bed you should prop up her cot...make sure you dont tamper with the mattress just put telephone directories or large books under the legs.....also steam does wonders....you can put her in the bathroom and generate steam and that will soften the mucus....using a ventilator/vapouriser (if you have one) in their room is good aswell....i also use narium drops which is like a saline solution that you put into their nose and it helps clear up the congestion......hope this is helpful

We used the plug in vaporizer from Sudacare I believe was the name. It uses menthol strips in it and it really helped with my grandson.

they have children's mucinex which is a medicine to break up mucus.
take that booger suck thingy and fill it with warm water splash up her nose then suck boogers out.
poor baby
Good Luck!!!!!
