Fix My Nose

Dash-chan was up at FOUR AM whining a bit, and when I told him to go to sleep, this is what he said 'cos he has a cold'. He seemed to think rubbing a bit of Vicks on his chest did the trick.

I don't know exactly how you teach a child to blow his nose, he keeps sniffing in.

Can you hold a candle in front of his nose and ask him to make the flame waver?

Just by using his nasal air, of course :) I used that years ago to teach my daughter how to blow out.

For some reason Nibkun cannot manage to do a proper blow either, only a tiny puff and that was after lots of practice. The only thing we were recommended to do, that allowed him to sleep was to prop up his pillows so the nasal passages would drain better. Some cold remedy to relieve swelling the nasal cavity will probably make him feel as if he can breathe better quite quickly too, so the Vicks was a good idea.

Hope he gets better soon ^__^
