What should I do if my baby has a runny nose due to rhinitis?

Many babies may often have runny noses due to colds, which will cause rhinitis over time. If a baby has rhinitis, the mother will definitely be very worried, and the baby's body is relatively weak, so it will be particularly uncomfortable to take medicine. Then you must understand other conditioning methods so that you can make timely adjustments to your child's body.

1. Knead the nose

Parents can use their fingers to repeatedly knead the child's nose from top to bottom on both sides of the nose for 5 minutes, and then gently press Yingxiang and Shangyingxiang for a few minutes each.

2. Drink more ginger and sugar water

The doctor said that ginger and sugar water can help treat rhinitis. Cut ginger into shreds, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, brew with boiling water or boil for 10 minutes, then drink it while it is hot after it cools down a little. It has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms, and is mainly used to treat nasal congestion caused by cold.

3. Hot compress

This method is very simple, that is, just cover the child's nose with a hot and wet towel. This is mainly due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The child's nasal mucosa will contract when exposed to heat, so that the nasal cavity will become normal and the mucus will become watery and flow out of the body.

4. Drug treatment

You can drop an appropriate amount of drugs such as ephedrine into the child's nose, because this type of drug can effectively constrict the blood vessels in the nasal cavity, which can effectively promote the reduction of mucus.

However, it should be noted that patients with atrophic rhinitis should not use this medicine, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body.

In addition, when using this medicine, it is best not to let the liquid flow into the mouth, because this liquid medicine is bitter and it is difficult for children to accept it.

It is best for children if they can be treated without medication, but if your child's condition is more serious, you can also take some medicine appropriately. After all, this will make his body get better as soon as possible, which is best for him. You must pay attention to it in the process of caring for your child, so that your child can avoid these diseases.
