It's almost winter and the weather has turned cold. For some reason, everytime there's a change in temperature or season, children tend to have runny nose. Mine has and so did all my day care children.
Sometimes, they get blocked nose, especially when they sleep and that doesn't help them to fall asleep or have a good rest.
Found this really great way of unblocking their noses with VICKS! Or, whatever brand of vapour rub that does similar things.
Well, before you condemn me for rubbing it on them, please wait. I'm not too fond of having these rubs under my nose nor on any part of my body and so I have no intention of putting others, especially little ones, to such ordeal.
With Vicks, I heat up a jar of water (250ml), stir in 1 tablespoon of Vicks and leave it in the room. We have a lot of those empty sauce jars and I just took one for this purpose. Depending on the size of the room, I adjust the water and amount of Vicks.
The vapour helps to clear the blocked nose and the children get some peaceful rest.
If you've tried this before, let me know how it went!
