What to do if a child has a runny nose?

Children's physical health is very vulnerable to threats, especially some common diseases often make children suffer. For example, colds and fevers are the most common pediatric diseases, which have a great impact on children's physical development. These diseases will cause great damage to children's lives. For example, colds make many children have runny noses. Let's take a look at what to do if children have runny noses.

1. Some children sneeze and have clear runny nose every morning, but after eating a good breakfast and moving around, the runny nose stops. At this time, you need to see if the child kicks off the quilt when sleeping at night. If so, parents should pay attention to not let the child catch a cold when sleeping at night, so that this phenomenon will not occur in the morning.

2. If the child often sneezes and has a runny nose during the day, it means that the child has too much cold in the body and is qi weak. In addition to being careful not to let her catch cold, she should not eat cold things such as fruits and juice. In the morning, on an empty stomach, give her more ginger soup, warm brown sugar water twice in the afternoon and evening, and warm boiled water at other times.

3. If the child has taken medicine for several days and there is no effect, and his spleen and stomach are very weak, feed him more rice soup, and stop breastfeeding for one day.

4. If you sneeze frequently, don’t take a bath but wipe your body. If conditions permit, you can let your child soak his feet in ginger water until he sweats slightly. After soaking, immediately drink a cup of ginger and sugar water to speed up blood circulation and eliminate cold and dampness in the body in time.

1. Get enough rest

Whether it is a simple cold or rhinitis, rest is very important. At this time, you should let your baby rest more, reduce some outdoor activities, take good care of your baby's diet and schedule, and drink more water. Adequate water can make the secretions in the nasal cavity thinner and easier to clean.

Keeping the air moist can help your baby breathe more easily. If necessary, you can use a humidifier to increase the air humidity in the baby's room. At the same time, you should also regularly clean the humidifier with white vinegar and water to avoid dust and germs on it.

Take your baby to the bathroom, close the door, turn on the hot water, and let your baby stay in the steamy bathroom for 15 minutes. In this way, the baby's nasal congestion symptoms can be greatly improved. Of course, after the steam bath, don't forget to put your baby in clean and fresh clothes to avoid catching a cold.
