What should I do if my baby has difficulty breathing due to a blocked nose?

In life, many young mothers will encounter the phenomenon that their babies have nasal congestion and difficulty breathing. I believe you are all very worried at this time, because nasal congestion may cause suffocation of the child, which will definitely be very painful for you. So before that, you must know what to do when encountering these problems, so that you can adjust your baby's body in time.

1. Place a humidifier in dry weather

Place a humidifier indoors to ensure the indoor humidity, especially in winter, spring and autumn, which are more prone to dry seasons, or place a basin of clean water indoors at night. If the indoor floor has a floor, it is best to wipe it with a wet cloth twice a day to also achieve a moisturizing effect.

Open windows frequently for ventilation. It is recommended to ventilate once in the morning and once in the evening. Keep the room temperature between 18℃-24℃; control the indoor humidity at 50% to 60%; when there is plenty of sunlight, let as much sunlight as possible into the room, because the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight have a bactericidal effect; you can also use vinegar to fumigate the room for disinfection.

2. Diet is critical

In winter, the human body absorbs less vitamin C, so paying attention to supplementing a certain amount of vitamin C is beneficial for preventing nosebleeds. For patients who are prone to nosebleeds, some foods that are beneficial to treatment can be added to their daily diet.

For example, for those with excessive heat in the lung meridian, you can use tofu and gypsum soup, lotus root juice and honey dew, seaweed and white radish soup, etc.; for those with liver fire ascending type, you can use lotus root node and watermelon porridge, chrysanthemum and reed root porridge, water spinach, white radish and honey dew, etc.; for those with liver and kidney yin deficiency type, you can use raw rehmannia straw root and black bean decoction, raw rehmannia and cornus officinalis meat porridge, peanut skin decoction, pig's trotter and black date soup, etc.

3. Rub or massage your nose every day

Bathing the nose with cold water can improve its ability to resist cold. It is best to wash the face and nose with cold water all year round. Do nose rubbing or nose point massage every day. Use your thumb to rub the nose wings up and down along the bridge of nose several times, and use your index finger to rotate and massage the Yingxiang point several times to enhance blood circulation in the nose; when the climate is dry, you can use drops of compound peppermint oil, etc.
