What to do if your child has rhinitis and nasal congestion? Mom has a solution

Rhinitis is very common in children. Many babies suffer from allergic rhinitis, which can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. Children with rhinitis should be treated promptly. If the rhinitis is severe, medication is still needed to clear the secretions in the nose in time.

1. Prevention and treatment measures for acute sinusitis and nasal congestion:

1. If your baby has a cold, you should actively seek treatment.

2. Once your baby has acute sinusitis, take him to an ENT doctor in time and choose antibiotics reasonably under the doctor's guidance to completely cure the disease and prevent recurrence.

3. If the baby has severe nasal congestion, you can use 0.5% ephedrine furacillin drops carefully under the guidance of a doctor, one drop in each nostril 10 to 15 minutes before feeding, and it will usually take effect within a few minutes. However, ephedrine has side effects on babies and is not suitable for excessive or long-term use, so as to avoid causing atrophic rhinitis and affecting the olfactory sensitivity of the nose.

4. When your baby has a lot of purulent nasal discharge, you can ask the doctor to do replacement therapy to clear out the purulent secretions in the sinuses.

Second, the prevention and treatment of nasal crust obstruction:

1. Clear your baby's nasal secretions in time. If there is a lot, use a nasal aspirator to remove them.

2. When removing nasal crusts, avoid picking the baby's nose with your hands to avoid damaging the delicate nasal mucosa and causing bleeding and infection.

Correct method: If the nasal crust is blocked at the nostril opening, you can use a small sterilized cotton swab to gently roll it off. If the nasal mucus is deeper in the nasal cavity, you can first drop 1 to 2 drops of saline, cold boiled water or breast milk into the nostrils to allow the nasal crust to slowly moisten and soften. Then gently squeeze the nose wings to make the nasal crust gradually loosen, and then use a sterilized cotton swab to roll away the nasal crust.
