Snotty Kid?
Gotta get those boogers out!
I never owned one of those snot sucker things when my kiddo was little. I'm not sure if I knew about them or if the thought of them made me gag...
The best thing to clear snot is to jump in the ocean! But since it's the middle of Winter, the next best thing to do if you've got a congested kid is to throw them in a warm bath and put a pair of goggles on them. Add in all the bath toys and make a game of getting them to find certain ones. Or hold your hand underwater and see if they can count how many fingers you're holding up.
This will help to loosen the snot so it can be blown out! Bacteria breeds and has an absolute party in stagnant mucus so we want to get it moving!
Herbal tonics are also excellent at breaking down mucus and stimulating our immune cells to kill the bacteria/virus.
