A member asked:
My 10m.o has a stuffy/runny nose & he resists anytime i try to put anything near his nose. should i just hold him down even when he fights it ?

Yes: All kids resist having their noses wiped or cleaned with salt water to loosen the mucous. If he cries or screams, that's ok, in fact, it will help open his airways more and give him better air exchange. But, hold him gently and if needed, get help to hold.
