I'm having the most difficult time finding a nasal aspirator for my little one to clear his nose. Seems like most of the Guardians and Watsons keep very little stock and have run out. Is there any DIY fix for clearing a blocked nose?

You can purchase this Pigeon Nasal Aspirator from NTUC or Kiddy Palace. It's readily available and costs $6.90. This one is very effective for mucus. You hold up the bottle to his nose and suck out the mucus gently through a connecting tube. The mucus gets collected in the bottle, which can be opened and washed. Some parents use a saline solution in a syringe and pump it up the child's nostril. The mucus does get flushed out, but I wouldn't recommend it because I feel it might hurt the child's nostrils. http://www.fairprice.com.sg/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?urlRequestType=Base&catalogId=10051&categoryId=13710&productId=75458&errorViewName=ProductDisplayErrorView&langId=-1&top_category=&parent_category_rn=13710&storeId=10001
