Next, I will tell you what causes a two-month-old baby to have a runny nose.

For different groups of people, the same situation should be analyzed differently. We all know that it is normal for adults to have a runny nose, but if a baby has a runny nose for a long time, you must be alert. Is it a precursor to rhinitis? So you must pay more attention to the health of your baby.

Baby runny nose should be treated differently

When a baby has a runny nose, the first thing parents will think of is: Is he suffering from a cold? What medicine should he take? In fact, there are many different types of runny noses in babies.

1. Rhinitis caused by colds is called acute rhinitis. At this time, the nasal mucosa is congested and swollen, and the glandular secretions increase to form nasal mucus. It starts as clear water, and gradually becomes purulent mucus after 3-5 days, and then gradually heals.

2. Frequent runny nose accompanied by nasal congestion, itchy nose, sneezing and other symptoms, especially after getting up in the morning. When the baby comes out of the warm bed, he will sneeze immediately, followed by a continuous runny nose. You need to be alert to whether the baby has allergic rhinitis. Bronchial asthma is accompanied by runny nose, so mothers should pay attention to whether their babies suffer from allergic rhinitis.

3. If one side of the baby's nose has a foul odor, purulent mucus, and sometimes blood in the mucus, you need to consider whether there is a foreign body in the nasal cavity. This situation often occurs in children around 3 years old. When playing, they often put paper, beans, and other foreign objects into their nasal cavity out of curiosity. Once they are inserted, they cannot be taken out, which produces a bad smell. However, small metal parts and buttons inserted into the nasal cavity may not necessarily cause a bad smell.

4. When babies develop sinusitis due to acute or chronic rhinitis, they often have a lot of nasal mucus, which seems to be "endless", and is sometimes accompanied by headaches.

5. Some babies have snot on only one side of their nose, but cannot blow it out, their nostrils are blocked, and they snore when they sleep. Then you should be alert to the presence of nasal polyps.
