[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]snot sucker, saline spray, spoon of honey, kids cough medicine (which is basically just honey), humidifier, inclined pillows if you can, and just accepting that it won't be a quiet night.[/quote]

He's always fought the snot sucker / saline spray so hard that he ends up in a sobbing / coughing fit so I basically never use it now.  Does it just help for a few minutes and then fills up again or does it actually keep them clear for awhile?  [/quote]

First inhaler poster again - mine screams and fights the snot sucker as well but it really helps. He gets so backed up sometimes that he will literally choke on it and vomit. I've gotten about tablespoon out of his nose before at one time. For use it is well worth the fight. He'll even say that he feels better as if he wasn't screaming bloody murder 2 seconds before.

Oh, also, if you do end up with an inhaler makes sure they give you the toddler spacer (looks like a face mask with a tube attached).[/quote]
