What to do if your child has a runny nose

Cold is a very common disease. Many people treat it casually because usually they can recover by taking some medicine. In fact, this is a very wrong approach, especially for children. They will have a runny nose after catching a cold. Parents need to choose appropriate ways to solve the problem. Next, we will introduce in detail the treatment methods for children's runny nose.

The nasal mucosa of children has more blood vessels than that of adults, and the secretions are more. In addition, the nervous system's regulatory function on nasal mucosal secretion and ciliary movement is not yet fully developed, and children are not good at wiping their noses by themselves, so they often have clear nasal discharge. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry.

If there are two lines of snot hanging under the child's nostrils all day long or yellow-green purulent snot flows out, it is a sign of illness. People who have yellow-green, purulent nasal discharge for a long time may suffer from sinusitis. Frequent runny nose may be caused by a lack of vitamin A and vitamin B, and treatment with these two vitamins can be effective. Allergies to inhaled dust can cause a large amount of clear nasal discharge within a short period of time. A small number of children with foreign objects in their nasal cavity may also have a runny nose frequently.

Some children with nasopharyngeal lymphadenopathy also often have a runny nose, but they also have symptoms such as severe snoring, dull facial expression, and a flat nose, which can seriously affect their development and posture and should be treated in a timely manner.

In short, children with runny nose should be treated accordingly according to the cause. Strengthening cold-resistance exercises, letting children go outdoors more often, keeping the air fresh, and proper nutrition can all help prevent runny noses in children.

The above contents are some solutions to children's runny nose. Of course, because each child's physical fitness is different, the types of colds are also very different. So if parents cannot accurately judge these problems, it is better to take the children to the hospital for treatment. Colds cannot be delayed.
