How to do it: Dissolve a quarter teaspoon of salt in a half cup of warm water, and fill a nasal-spray bottle with the solution. Spritz twice into each nostril, then have your child blow his nose into a tissue. (If your child is too young to blow, use a bulb syringe to suction out the fluid.)
Why it works: Salt water loosens thick mucus, making it easier to discharge from the nose, and restores the natural moisture of the inner membranes.
When to call the doctor: If you think your child may have an ear or sinus infection. (Symptoms include a fever, persistent cough, earache, or yellow or green nasal secretions.)

I am looking for a home remedy, something natural from the house, for head lice that my 18 month son got from an unclean person who had it and passed it onto his beding. Any suggestions????
