My 3 year old son is congested. I have eucalyptus oil and a diffuser. Can I put it in his room?

Question

No health problems. I use a salt water solution and put it in 35 degrees at night.

Hello Ma'am, You can use the diffuser, but it might not make much difference unfortunately. In fact, experience shows that putting it in the shower to liquefy nasal secretions before bed is at least as effective as the diffuser. What you should do instead for congestion at this age is use the Sinus Rinse™ twice a day, or the Ste-Justine technique 3 to 5 times a day (https://www.chusj.org/getmedia/d81f7af6-a93c-4e86-9011-f523e13279a8/depliant_F-886_hygiene-nasal.pdf.aspx?ico=.pdf). Happy day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist P.S. These last two techniques are much more effective than Hydrasense™ salt water. :)
