My toddler has a stuffy nose and can't sleep. He keeps closing his mouth and waking up cuz he can't breathe. So far I've tried saline drops, a vaporizer, nasal aspirator, and vicks baby rub. Any other ideas?

Take him into the bathroom run a shower and get him breathing in the steam. Try tixylix for runny noses as well - not only does it send them to sleep it clears the nose so they can breathe

Try a warm washcloth on his nose and sinuses.

call your doctor and find out the proper dosage for benadryl....once in a while doesnt hurt and it will dry up his little nose so he can sleep.
