Using an aspirator

DS has a wicked cold and has a lot of mucus in the back of his throat and in his nose.  This sounds crazy but I'm trying to use the aspirator and I'm having zero luck.  I don't know if I'm doing it right.  I was told to try and suction it out in their cheek but the mucus is in the back of his throat.  Can I try to suction it out directly from the back or is that dangerous?

    Am I reading that correctly?

    I have never heard of suctioning the throat. Not something I would do...

    Maybe I am not up to date though.

    I wouldn't! I only use it on the nose.

    Nose aspirator's suck (no pun intended) - but seriously - they never work.  My sister in law told me about the Nas Frida (or Nose Frida) - invented in Sweeden - it is the greatest thing for suctioning the boogies and snots.  www.nosefrida.com

    The concept and looks of it look absolutely disgusting and I thought my sister-in-law was crazy for tellnig me about this thing.  But it is totally safe and I swear that my DD welcomes it now cause she knows the relief she is going to get.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    we use Little Noses Saline solution.  it loosens up the mucus so it is easier to suck out with the bulb.  GL
