What are some tips for treating your baby’s stuffy nose?

I believe that many people will encounter the phenomenon of babies having stuffy noses in life. At this time, many people will try all kinds of medical treatments in a hurry, but you cannot use medicine casually for babies. So today I will talk about some tips for babies’ stuffy noses, so that you can adjust it in time when you encounter the problem, and it will not cause any harm to the child, which will be better for the child’s health.

Newborns have short nasal cavities, narrow nasal passages, and abundant blood vessels. They are more susceptible to inflammation than adults, which can cause the child to be unable to feed well, become irritable, cry, and breathe with their mouths open. Therefore, it is even more important to keep the newborn's respiratory tract unobstructed.

Nasal congestion can be treated by the following methods: put 1 drop of breast milk in the child's nasal cavity to soften the nasal mucus, then use cotton thread or other objects to stimulate the nasal cavity to make the child sneeze, which is conducive to the discharge of secretions; or use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of water and gently insert it into the nasal cavity to clear the secretions. Be careful to be gentle and avoid using excessive force to damage the mucous membrane and cause nose bleeding.

For nasal congestion without secretions, you can apply a warm towel to the base of the nose, which can also play a certain role in ventilation. To treat nasal congestion, you can also use some drugs that promote nasal mucosal blood vessel contraction. If it is necessary for newborns, they can only be dripped 1-2 times a day at most, because long-term use of the drug can cause dependence and cause drug-induced rhinitis.

When the baby's nose is blocked, we can use a wet towel to help the baby remove the residue in the nose, which can effectively prevent the baby's nose from becoming red or painful. If necessary, we can prepare some Fengyoujing for the baby. Fengyoujing can help the baby's nasal ventilation, but Fengyoujing can easily irritate the baby's eyes, so be very careful when using it.
