Why do children always have runny noses? This is a must-read for mothers

Children need careful care so that they can grow up gradually. If you don't pay attention, they will catch a cold and get sick. Children's resistance is far weaker than that of adults. Once a runny nose occurs, it must be taken seriously. If you delay for too long, diarrhea will occur. It is very important to know the solution.

1. Hot compress: Wet a towel with hot water and apply it to the baby's nose. If the towel is cold, change it to a hot one. Repeat this process several times. As the nasal mucosa shrinks when exposed to heat, the nasal cavity becomes more unobstructed and the sticky mucus becomes easier to hydrate and flow out. Be gentle when applying hot compress. If you find mucus in your baby's nostrils, you can first clean it with a cotton swab dipped in water; you can also slowly massage the baby's nose or both sides of the nose.

2. Soak your baby’s feet and drink more warm water: Soak your baby’s feet in warm water before going to bed. You can also add a few slices of ginger to the water to keep out the cold. But be careful not to overheat the water so as not to scald your baby. When the water gets cold, you can keep changing the water until sweat appears on the child's forehead and let the child drink more warm water. It helps the baby's blood circulation, thins the mucus, makes it easier to clean, and allows the baby to rest early.

3. Steaming and moisturizing the face: If you have a facial steamer at home, turn it on and point it towards the baby's face to let him come into contact with moisture and heat. Steam can moisten your baby's nasal cavity and drain a lot of mucus quickly and naturally. But be careful not to place the facial steamer too close to the baby to avoid hurting his delicate skin; and the usage time at one time should not be too long, about 3 minutes is enough.

4. Increase the indoor temperature or maintain a balance between indoor and outdoor temperatures: If the temperature drops or rises suddenly, the baby will easily have symptoms of runny nose and cold. Since babies are particularly sensitive to external environment and air stimulation, try to keep the indoor and outdoor temperatures balanced so that they will not suddenly feel overwhelmed when going out. If you don't go out, you can keep the indoor temperature at a comfortable level to relieve your baby's symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose.
