Cool mist: Place an ultrasonic ("cool mist") vaporizer by bedside to help moisturize and open up nasal passage ways. Use extreme caution of using steam vaporizer to be sure child cannot get to device / contact the hot steam / pull unit down onto self (?By cord, table cloth, etc.). If symptoms persist more than a few nights, talk to your pediatrician.
