Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 , The GP/accupunturist that Ainslie is seeing recommends increasing fluids, as we already know more fluids decrease the thickness of the mucous. In the hot weather we give Ainslie Gastrolyte and she is already aware that she will be having it at least twice a day whilst in SA. This sounds disgusting, he also recommends deep fast breathing in via the nose to " suck out " the mucous from the sinuses to help to keep them clear. Disgusting but effective. Along with the saline these may help little Eilish. He even suggested inhalation of hot water to liquidate the sinus passages but kids don't really like to sit still to do this - I have reservations about it due to psuedo. We have done it - but I have boiled the water first to kill the bugs first - Ainslie would rather the sterile saline instead. Hope this helps Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
