@Ednaude, when d hot water is warmed like close to being cold. Warm water. Measure d water at 180mls n add 2 pinch of salt. Put a drop of one or two in each nostrils. Another magic is breast milk. Express small in a 2.5ml spoon(tsp). Let it cool a bit n put a drop or two in each nostrils. U can google it.

K, will try dat but won't she breath in d water into her brain? @Mrs Okeowo pls clarify me cos I want to try dt home remedy now

Okeowo Precious · Answer

Pls don't give any antibiotics, a good hospital won't give u dat, do a salt solution, boil water(180ml) let it warm den add 2 pinch of salt, den drop it into her nose, (3drops on each sides)repeat as many times as possible in a day, d mucus will dissolve den suck it out or clean up anytime it comes out, give her a warm bath too, do steaming wit Silver bird oil let her inhale(don't put it too close to her) den apply metholetum on her chest nd legs don't apply on her nose cos she is too tender.
