What is the cause of a child's nasal congestion for a long time?

Normally, many of our friends will have stuffy noses, which makes us feel particularly distressed, especially for children. Such conditions should be taken more seriously. Normally, many children will have stuffy noses for a long time, which will not only affect their breathing, but also cause poor rest at night. Parents need to pay attention to such conditions. Why do children have stuffy noses for a long time?

Nasal congestion is mainly caused by swelling of the nasal mucosa or increased nasal secretions blocking the nasal cavity. Colds and allergies are the two main causes of swelling of the nasal mucosa or increased nasal secretions. If it is caused by excessive nasal secretions, you can use a warm and wet towel to apply hot compress to the baby, or drop a little saline solution to soften the secretions so that they can be discharged smoothly. If the nasal mucosa is swollen, you can choose nasal drops that do not contain ephedrine to drip into the nose to relieve the swelling.

Children have shorter nasal cavities, no nasal hairs, and soft nasal mucosa with rich blood vessels, so they are more sensitive. Therefore, stimulation by factors such as cold or heat can cause edema or congestion of the nasal mucosa, leading to nasal congestion. You can feed your baby more warm water and keep warm. Secondly, you can massage the Yingxiang points on both sides of the nose for your baby, which has the effect of opening the orifices. Secondly, check whether the baby has nasal mucus, etc. If so, clean it up in time. For long-term nasal congestion, you can check whether the baby has nasal diseases such as rhinitis or nasal polyps. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention in time.

The above is an introduction to children's long-term nasal congestion. In normal times, we must pay attention to the care and nursing of children. If we find that a child has a stuffy nose, we must pay close attention to it. A child's long-term nasal congestion will affect his sleep, and over time it will affect his memory. Timely inspection and treatment are required.
