Many holistic practitioners suggest sesame oil to be inhaled through the nose, but I must advise against it in your case. This is because it is not a good thing to get oil into the lungs, and it could prove damaging to a 5-year old. I would advise getting a humidifier, to moisten the air that the child inhales.

What do you call a Dried mucus in the nose?
The nasal passages are supposed to create some moisture, but when there is drainage that doesn't actually drain, it will become dry. You can help prevent this by using a nasal saline spray or a neti pot. A neti pot is shaped similar to an Aladdin's lamp, with a spout that fits inside the nasal passage. You simply fill it with warm salt water, then with your head bent over and tilted to the side over the sink, you first flush one side, then do the other side the same way. This flushes allerges, etc. from the nasal passages, as well as excess mucous (more detailed instructions come with the neti pot). It also helps keep the nasal passages moist, which doctors recommend. But a bottle of nasal saline spray works well too, and can be taken with you and used anywhere. And both can be used as often as you need.

Why might a person who breaths through his or her mouth at night tend to have a sore throat in the morning?
The nose warms and moisturizes the air you breath in. It could be that the cool dry air coming directly from the mouth is drying the throat and irritating it. Alternately, it could be that the reason for the mouth breathing is that the nasal passages are stuffy and mucus from them is dripping into the throat at night when you lie back (post nasal drip). This can be irritating.
