Congested noses are often the cause of bothersome throat, ear, and respiratory infections. Whoever takes care of babies or young children will often need to clear up a stuffy nose. An easy and cheap way to do this is by using a nasal rinse. The video below shows you how you can rinse your baby's nose with a small bottle. Children who are a bit older can do this themselves with a nasal netti pot. You will also learn how you can make a saline solution easily.
