What should I do if my baby catches a cold and has a blocked nose?

Generally, babies have poor resistance after birth, so many babies will have stuffy noses due to colds. At this time, many people will want to give the baby medicine, but taking medicine may affect the baby's health, so it is recommended not to give the child too much medicine. In addition to taking medicine, there are many ways to regulate the baby's stuffy nose due to colds, which can also make the baby's body better.

Ginger hot feet

When your baby has a stuffy nose in the early stages of a cold, you can place slightly scalded ginger powder on the soles of his feet when he goes to bed at night. This can help his nose breathe unobstructed and the cold heal faster.

Method: Cut the ginger into shreds and fry in a dry pan until it is dry and the ginger aroma comes out (it’s okay if it’s a little mushy). Put the fried shredded ginger into a small gauze bag and then stick the gauze bag with the slightly hot shredded ginger on the soles of the baby’s feet. (Be sure not to make the ginger too hot to avoid scalding your baby.)

Hot smoked green onion

If your baby has a stuffy nose due to a cold, you can soak some scallion in water, cut the scallion into shreds (to make it easier to absorb the flavor), put it into boiling water, and fumigate the baby's mouth and nose while it's hot. This method is very effective for babies with nasal congestion caused by cold.

Saline nasal wash

Mothers can use cold boiled water with salt, wet a small cotton swab, and clean the baby's nasal cavity. Be gentle when cleaning. Cleaning every day can relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion.

Side massage

If the baby has a stuffy nose on the left side, he should lie on the right side. If the baby has a stuffy nose on the right side, he should lie on the left side. Parents can pinch the baby's nose with two fingers and massage the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1-2 minutes. The stuffy nose can be relieved. Method of locating the Yingxiang acupoint: The acupoint is generally located in a sitting or supine position. The Yingxiang acupoint is located on the face, in the wrinkle about 1 cm away from the wing of the nose (next to the midpoint of the outer edge of the wing of the nose, in the nasolabial groove).

After reading the above explanation, you must have known how to regulate your baby, and you can also make your baby better without giving him medicine when his nasal congestion occurs. Then in the future you can choose to regulate your baby, which will allow your child to get better quickly without being harmed by medicine, and it is very good for the body.
