TBH i dont really do much...lots of huggies and a little olbas oil on a tissue kept close to her but not too close IYKWIM....i also run the shower HOT HOT HOT so the room gets all seamy to help clear her thats about all TBH

Hope he's feeling better soon

I put olbas oil or karvol on a muslin near the cot to keep her clear which seems to help. Also, I can't remember who does it now but there's a spray of saline solution you can spray up the nose if they're really clogged. She hates it but it works
