What should I do if my baby has a stuffy nose in the middle of the night?

Many babies have nasal congestion when they sleep in the middle of the night, and this often wakes them up, which is a headache for their parents, because not only does the child not get a good rest, but it is also a big test for the parents. Therefore, it is recommended that parents must have an understanding of this knowledge, so that your child can get better faster, which is also very beneficial to you.

A child will feel very uncomfortable when his nose is blocked, especially at night, when the blocked nose often wakes the child up. In this case, dripping saline into the child's nostrils can not only moisturize the child's nostrils, but also clean the nasal cavity and restore nose ventilation.

Mothers need to note that the normal saline mentioned here is not ordinary saline, but the sterilized physiological sodium chloride used for infusion in hospitals. When using, first use a sterilized small dropper to suck out the saline solution, then drop a small drop into the child's nostrils. Do not drop too much at a time, otherwise it will cause discomfort to the child's nose.

You can also drop saline solution onto a sterilized cotton swab and gently insert it into your child's nostrils to stimulate his nose, causing him to sneeze and expel the stuff blocking his nose, which can also relieve nasal congestion.

Of course, if mothers find it too troublesome to go to the hospital to buy saline solution, they can also go to the pharmacy to buy physiological seawater nasal spray, but the price is higher.

Saline solution can not only be used to treat nasal congestion, but also has a good therapeutic effect on cough. If your child coughs severely and affects his sleep, you can use saline solution for nebulization inhalation to keep the child's respiratory tract moist and reduce coughing caused by irritation.

Of course, for most families, the cost of atomizers is too high and they are not convenient to use.

In short, there are many ways to treat your baby's stuffy nose in the middle of the night. As a parent, you must have an understanding of this knowledge, so that it will be good for your child. Only when your child sleeps well can you sleep well. Otherwise, it must be very tiring to wake up every night to take care of your child. I believe you are also very reluctant to see your child in this situation.
