Before sending your child to school, kindergarten or just outside, lubricate his nostrils with oxolinic ointment. And upon returning home, you need to wash off the ointment with baby soap. Use this remedy only if the child is traveling to crowded places. The constant use of oxolinic ointment can only do harm. Also rinse your baby with seawater sprays.
