What is the cause of the child's stuffy nose?

Children's respiratory passages are relatively narrow, and even a little secretion will block the nasal cavity, causing nasal congestion. Although the child's condition is not very serious, the family is still very nervous and concerned about the cause of the disease, hoping that it can be better resolved. So, what is the reason for a child's blocked nose? Let's take a closer look at it below.

1. Nasal congestion caused by cold: manifested as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sometimes accompanied by fever symptoms. In such a situation, you should first pay attention to keeping warm. In addition, you can use a warm, wet towel to apply heat to the baby's nose (not too hot), twice a day, each time for about 15 minutes.

2. Nasal congestion caused by acute sinusitis: Repeated upper respiratory tract infections in babies can affect the sinus mucosa, causing congestion and swelling, increased secretions, and causing acute sinusitis. In addition to nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and mouth breathing, more serious symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, and irritability. If your baby has a cold, parents should first actively seek treatment. Take your baby to see an ENT doctor in time, and choose antibiotics reasonably under the doctor's guidance to completely cure the disease and prevent recurrence.

The above is an introduction to why children have stuffy noses. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are two main reasons that cause children's nasal congestion. When a child has this condition, it is necessary to determine the cause based on the child's condition so that better treatment can be provided to avoid causing greater serious impact on the child's health.
