What is the most effective treatment for nasal congestion in children?

Children's resistance is usually weak, so when the seasons change, children often catch a cold. After a cold, they are prone to nasal congestion. At this time, the child's appetite will drop significantly, and the body will quickly become very weak, which will make parents very worried. In fact, there are many ways to solve this problem, such as taking medicine for treatment, or using some folk remedies to help treat it.

The most effective treatment for children's nasal congestion:

1. Apply fried ginger to the soles of your feet

Suitable for babies' early symptoms of sneezing, clear runny nose and nasal congestion.

Directions:

01. Chop the ginger into some fine powder.

02. Fry the minced ginger in a dry pan until it is very dry. It’s okay if it’s a little mushy.

03. Use small gauze or non-woven fabric to sew a small bag and put the fried ginger powder into it.

04. While it is still slightly warm, stick the bag on the soles of your baby’s feet. That's it.

2. Boil water with mint and ginger for bathing

It is suitable for babies with runny nose and nasal congestion symptoms when they are recovering from a cold. It can also prevent colds and enhance immunity.

Directions:

Boil water with mint and ginger (Note: use about 20-30 grams of mint each time, bought at the pharmacy, and cut the ginger into medium-thick slices, about a dozen slices). Bathe your baby with water. You can also add a few drops of white wine to the water before bathing. I bathed my baby once a day for the past two days. When I got home from get off work yesterday, I found that he was completely healed. It seems to be a good method.

3. Hot towel compress

It is suitable for relieving symptoms of thick nasal discharge and nasal congestion.

Directions:

Use a hot, damp washcloth to apply heat to your baby's nose. The principle is that when the nasal mucosa shrinks when exposed to heat, the nasal cavity will be more unobstructed and the sticky nasal mucus will be easier to hydrate and flow out.

4. Raise your head

Suitable for baby's nasal congestion symptoms, with slight relief effect.

Place several small pillows evenly under the mattress under your baby's head to make the mattress look like a smooth, 30-degree slide. It is a temporary auxiliary method, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. A stuffy or runny nose can sometimes affect your baby's sleep. This method can only slightly relieve your baby's symptoms, but the effect is not long-lasting.

5. Orange peel

Experts point out that if you aim fresh orange peel at your nostrils, squeeze it hard, and then spray the juice into your nasal cavity, your nose will be unblocked soon. Also, grind vitamin C into powder, then inhale a small amount into your nose, and your nose will be unblocked.

6. Onion mucus

Experts say that the mucus in onions can inhibit inflammation. Cut off the white part of the onion, which contains mucus. This mucus is effective for nasal inflammation symptoms, can allow air to circulate in the nose and cure nasal congestion. Applying the mucus on the bridge of the nose is very effective. Alternatively, you can cut the white part of the green onion into thin strips, put it in a bowl, pour in hot water, add a small amount of miso, and drink it two to three times a day. Or just adding it to miso is also very effective.
