Hi Kim, Happy Easter

We use Diabetic Tussin (get it at CVS)

or

Something like " s 5 Action Clear Cough/Cold Formula " ...can't remember

the name off hand.

Have had no problems so far w/ either. We get the 5 Action thing at ,

don't think CVS carries it.

Hope he feels better.

Hi Kim,

We use Otrivine pediatric nose drops for . Seems to work well for him.

We give one dose at bedtime, sometimes we have to give another at around

midnight, and this keeps him clear till morning.

Probably max 5 days of night doses, but this has always been long enough in

the past to get him over the worst patch of congestion and that awful post

nasal drip that causes the cough and sleep problems.

Even if you do find a keto friendly oral decongestant (like the diabetic

ones) I have always been very wary of any meds with any kind of

antihistamine.

Hi Barb and everyone who responded to my email about decongestants.

I never even thought about trying nose drops either. I appreciate all

advice and hope everyone is well.

I prefer to use pediatric nose drops ......so it's a fast acting thing that

affects the nose only.... doesn't go through the entire system. The ones I use

are called " Little Noses " , available in any supermarket or drug store, I

imagine. It tends to really dry them out, though.... and then they can have kind

of a rebound stuffiness during the day so I also like to use the lowest

suggested dosage (I even use these " baby " nose drops myself..... it works!),

only use it once in 24 hours and alternate with plain saline (you can buy this,

too..... usually sold as a saline nasal spray) to help loosen things up. Anyway,

this way there are no carbs added.... and no artificial sweeteners or other

ingredients that are added to other types of cold remedies. Rubbing plain-old

Vick's vapo-rub on their chest also helps unstuff their nose.... since the

mentholated fumes rise up and they breath them in.
