Apply massage oil to certain trigger spots on your head to reduce the stream of snot. Target around the nose as well as in other areas that may hurt due to the other symptoms of a cold or allergies, including around your eyebrows and on your temples.

7. Steam

Most of these home remedies are appropriate for adults, not for children. But what happens if your little one is suffering from a blocked nasal passage or a constant runny nose? Try steam. Natural and effective steam is an easy way to reduce the mucus blockage and help drain the nose. Avoid cold weather which can also make a runny nose much worse and offer warm beverages throughout the day.

8. Petroleum Jelly

This one won’t stop your runny nose, but it will provide relief. For the chapped skin around the nose area, dab a small amount of petroleum jelly directly onto the skin. This can help with the dryness from constantly blowing and the rubbing of the tissue paper.

And, finally, plenty of cuddles always seem to help with any child ailment, from fever to runny noses, for kids and grown ups alike!
