  It finally came through, thanks, good to have ideas for getting that mucus out, I also googled and found a video of a little boy doing it, can't imagine how hard it would be to have children trying to do this!

I see the link I put on for you has not been moderated as yet, or it has with no explanation.
You can google bubble pep and click on the Great Ormond Street option. Hope it helps. cx
