 Daughter's chapped nose
Hi, don't know if any of you have run into this before...
My daughter is 3.5 and has been sick for a few days with a fever and sniffles. The fever seems to be better this morning, but she has rubbed her nose raw underneath by wiping the snot away with damp rags (her idea). She will not blow her nose, etc., and gets VERY upset at the prospect of me touching it. I did apply some medicine there this morning that has aloe vera and lidocaine to help it feel better and heal faster. It took both myself and my husband to hold her down to apply the medicine. She also will not take any Tylenol but spits most of it out if we force it into her mouth, again requiring both of us to hold her down.
Anyways, if you have any suggestions on how to help her feel better, please send them this way. Otherwise, just send your prayers and good vibes. Her nose is really hurting her and her shrieking is really wearing me down.
Thanks,
Lauxa
