My daughter has a lot of secretions in her nose and it keeps her awake. What can I give her?

Good evening ma'am,
Greatly sorry for the delay in responding.
For a little girl this age, we're going to use a hyper-effective technique described in the following document produced by Ste-Justine (pages 6 and 7): https://www.chusj.org/getmedia/d81f7af6-a93c-4e86-9011-f523e13279a8/depliant_F-886_hygiene-nasale.pdf.aspx?ico=.pdf, since she's still a little young for Sinus Rinse.
So you'll need a needleless syringe (like the one we use for syrup), salt water and that's it! We use about 10 mL of water per nostril 3 times a day (keeping 1 "dose" before bedtime). This will clear the nasal passages, reduce coughing and cause the child's overall condition to improve drastically (usually within 24 hours).
