What should I do if my one and a half year old baby has a runny nose all the time?

Runny nose is a very common phenomenon. Adults will feel very uncomfortable with a runny nose, and children will feel even more uncomfortable with a runny nose. Moreover, children cannot blow their noses by themselves. When their noses are blocked, they will feel uncomfortable and cry incessantly. So what should you do when your child has a runny nose? Here we will introduce how to deal with runny nose in children.

1. Prepare warm food for your baby

When a baby has a runny nose, it is likely that the baby has caught a cold. Mothers can also take good care of the baby through food. It is best to choose warmer foods and not let the baby eat cold foods. Now we recommend that mothers prepare brown sugar water or water boiled with garlic for their babies. Brown sugar water is suitable for drinking in winter, as it can both replenish blood and dispel the cold.

2. Pay attention to children’s living habits

Some children like to kick off the quilt when they sleep at night. If mothers don’t notice it in time, the baby may catch a cold all night. In addition, some babies like to walk barefoot, which can easily cause the baby to catch a cold. When your baby has a runny nose, you should prevent him from kicking the quilt and forbid him to go barefoot.

3. Restrict your baby’s diet

When the baby is sick, mothers should learn to observe the baby's condition. Some babies often sneeze when they have a runny nose, which means that the baby has a more severe cold and needs help to drive away the cold.

4. Proper massage

If you want to get rid of your baby's runny nose faster, mothers can give the baby an appropriate massage, such as massaging the soles of the baby's feet to help warm them up, or massaging the baby's back, etc., which all have a certain relieving effect.

The above introduces some methods for dealing with runny nose in children, but in addition to these methods, it is also important to give the baby more water and keep the air circulating in the room. There are many reasons for the baby's runny nose, such as colds, rhinitis, etc. First find out the cause of the baby's runny nose, and then treat it symptomatically. This is also a very important step.
