What to do if your child has a stuffy nose

Children will encounter various diseases as they grow up. Nasal congestion is a typical symptom. Once it occurs, it will have a great impact on the child's health. Parents are worried about other effects on their children and are very concerned about solutions. So, what should we do if our child has a stuffy nose? Let’s take a closer look below.

Steam your nose. You can open the lid of the thermos and slowly let your child get closer to the steam, without burning his face. Let the steam fumigate his nose to help nasal ventilation. It will be effective after about 10 minutes each time.

Use a nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus. If the child is young and cannot blow his nose, you can use a nasal aspirator to help him suck out the snot. Be careful not to suck too hard. After blowing out the snot, the baby will feel that his nose is more unobstructed. Because nasal discharge during a cold is a manifestation of the body's immunity, and the cold virus multiplies in large numbers in the nasal tissue cells, the secreted nasal discharge can carry the large numbers of multiplied viruses out of the body, which is a way for the body to detoxify, so the nasal discharge must be cleaned up in a timely manner.

If it is a cold or typhoid fever, you can let your child drink brown sugar ginger water. Add more ginger and make sure it is not spicy. Let your child sleep after drinking it. It is best to cover him with a quilt to sweat. This will help the cold get better and the nose will no longer be blocked.

Massage your nose. You can use your thumb and index finger to massage your nose from the corner of the eye downward and then upward to promote normal blood circulation in the nose and help relieve nasal congestion symptoms.

5. Use a patch to cure nasal congestion. Although it is not recommended to use it frequently, if the child has severe nasal congestion, it can be used appropriately to relieve the symptoms.

The above is an introduction on what to do if your child has a stuffy nose. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many ways to solve children's nasal congestion. The key is to find out the causes of the child's illness. Only by providing targeted treatment and taking routine care measures can the child recover as soon as possible.
