What to do if your baby's nasal concha is swollen

The main causes of baby's nasal concha hypertrophy include local tissue inflammation, infection, congestion, swelling or suppuration. Therefore, many children cannot breathe normally through their noses, often pick their nostrils with their hands, breathe with their mouths open and snore when they sleep. Parents need to give appropriate drug treatment and actively provide care.

Adenoids hypertrophy in children

There are many causes of adenoid hypertrophy in children, including the following:

1. Acute inflammation causes the glandular tissue to become congested, swollen, or enlarged due to suppuration. At this time, the child may experience nasal congestion, mouth breathing, and difficulty breathing in a short period of time. There are often large amounts of secretions in the nasal cavity, and the child may snore loudly at night, and even have brief breathing pauses, followed by a deep breath. In addition, it is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and sore throat. Generally, after anti-inflammatory treatment, most of the above symptoms can disappear.

2. Chronic rhinitis and snoring during sleep often develop gradually, from mild to severe or from better to worse.

3. Due to allergic reaction, local edema causes adenoids hypertrophy. Such children are often accompanied by other allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, pollen (dust mites, cold air) allergy, etc.

Prevention and health care

1. Control the occurrence of indoor mold and mildew.

2. Do not use carpets or feather bedding, keep the room clean and hygienic, reduce indoor dust, keep the room ventilated, and hang clothes to dry frequently.

3. Completely kill pests such as cockroaches.

4. Keep away from pets.

5. Maintain a regular daily routine and keep warm. Especially when seasons change, dress appropriately to avoid catching a cold and other stimulation from cold air.

6. Avoid eating any food that can cause allergic rhinitis, and be careful when eating fish, shrimp, and crab.

7. Quit smoking and drinking.

8. Strengthening physical fitness is very important for patients with allergic rhinitis, and they should pay attention to physical exercise regularly.
