Those are all things my mom would always say clear your sinuses. Not sure if a child would tolerate that though. Breathing over a bowl of hot water with a few drops of eucalyptus oil and a towel over your head helps a little. If I'm really feeling bad though, taking a decongestant is the only real way to feel better. Staying hydrated will also help thin the mucous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-congestion#post-2067935 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 05:45:36 +0000 mrbee 2067935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son woke up crying because he couldn't breathe through his nose, due to sinus congestion.</p> <p>I had him sit up and also did the hot shower steam thing. He seems better but thought I'd ask if anyone has any other ideas? </p>
