What is the reason why the baby can’t sleep because of a stuffy nose?

If the baby has a stuffy nose and can't sleep at night, I believe the mother will be very worried, but there must be a reason for the baby's physical discomfort, so mothers must pay more attention to this knowledge, so that you can solve it quickly when your baby encounters a problem. This is very good for your child's body, and you can rest assured that your child is healthy.

If the baby has a stuffy nose, you can also try using a hot towel to apply heat to the baby's fontanelle, because Chinese medicine believes that the baby's nasal stuffiness is closely related to the cold fontanelle. The specific method is to apply hot compress continuously until the baby's forehead starts to sweat. Of course, you must pay attention to the temperature of the water and be careful not to hurt your baby's delicate skin. Especially if the fontanelle has not yet fully developed, you should be more careful and gentle in your movements.

A baby's nasal congestion may also be related to nasal crusts in the nasal cavity, so you should pay attention to clearing the baby's nasal crusts on a daily basis. Here is a reminder that you must not dig directly with your hands. You can choose a special small clip and do it when the baby falls asleep. But remember to be gentle and be careful to avoid hurting the baby's nasal mucosa. If the nasal crust is relatively dry, you can also let the baby inhale some water vapor first, and then clean it after a few minutes.

Washing the nose with salt water is also a very good method. Just add appropriate amount of salt to cold boiled water, and then use a small cotton swab dipped in water to help the baby clean the nasal cavity. If the baby has a runny nose, you should also pay attention to treating the cause of the baby's runny nose first.

Of course, clinically speaking, there are many other reasons why babies have stuffy noses, among which nasal polyps are one of the most worrying issues for expectant mothers. Because nasal polyps are equivalent to a piece of "flesh" growing inside the baby's nose, which affects the space of the nose.

The above are some explanations about why children can’t sleep due to nasal congestion. Now that you know how to adjust it, you will be able to deal with it easily if you encounter problems in the future. In addition, your baby will definitely encounter various problems during the process of growing up. So as a mother, you understand these things that must be done so that you can be responsible for your baby.
