If your daughter doesn't already use one, get a Neti Pot (you can find them at CVS, Walgreens as SinuCleans) and have her start using it daily. Whether or not you keep the pup, this will help to keep the nasal passages clear of allergens and should greatly reduce sickness.

Since the instructions on use are not that great, you use one of the salt packets (NOT table salt) in the pot, fill with luke-warm water, mix. The snout of the pot goes in one nostril, hand your head over the sink and find the correct head-tilt for you (nostril without the pot goes lower). The solution will run through the sinus cavities and out the other nostril. Do not swallow while doing this or you will just swallow the solution!! Repeat in other nostril. It takes a little getting used to, but after doing this for 3 years now, I can't go a day without it!!

Thanks for the info on the Neti Pot!! I have been avoiding taking nasal sprays but do have issues with my nasal passages so I am going to pick one of these up!
