What should I do if my child has dry nose?

Children always have some problems, especially in autumn when the weather is relatively dry. Children's nostrils become dry, and sometimes they even have nosebleeds in severe cases. How should we deal with this kind of dry nostrils in children? This is a question that many parents are eager to know. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge in this regard!

Nasal dryness, nasal congestion, and even nose bleeding. This is because the nasal mucosa is thin and particularly prone to drying out. The mucosa contains abundant capillaries, which become brittle after drying and are prone to rupture and bleeding. Massage can increase mucous membrane secretions, keep the nasal cavity moist, and make the nasal cavity unobstructed. It also has the effect of treating rhinitis and preventing colds.

External nasal method. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch both sides of the root of the nose, and pull down hard, from top to bottom 12 times in a row. Using this method to pull the nose promotes blood circulation in the nasal mucosa, which is beneficial to the secretion of normal nasal mucus.

Intranasal method. Reach your thumb and index finger into the nasal cavity, pinch the nasal septum cartilage, and gently pull it down 12 times. This method can not only increase the disease resistance of the nasal mucosa and prevent colds and rhinitis, but also make the nasal cavity moist, the mucosa rosy, maintain normal temperature, and increase cold resistance.

Press the Yingxiang point. Use the middle or index fingers of both hands to press the Yingxiang point (the depression of the nasolabial groove next to the nose wing) 12 times. Massaging this point can not only help improve local blood supply and prevent and treat nasal diseases, but also prevent and treat facial nerve paralysis.

Press the Yintang point. Use the tips of your thumb, index finger or middle finger to press the Yintang point (located between the eyebrows) 12 times. You can also use the tips of the middle fingers of both hands to massage the Yintang acupoint alternately left and right. Massaging the Yintang point can enhance the proliferation ability of the nasal mucosal epithelial cells, stimulate the olfactory cells, and make the sense of smell more sensitive.

If your child has similar symptoms, you can try the method introduced by the editor to massage your child, which can have a very good effect. Another thing to note is that children must drink more water and eat more fruits, especially when the weather is dry, so as to prevent their nostrils from drying out.
