What should I do if my child’s nose is always blocked?

In daily life, many people will encounter the phenomenon that their children have stuffy noses. At this time, many people will think that the children have a cold, but in fact, if the child has a stuffy nose, it is not just a cold. So no matter what, you must first adjust the child's stuffy nose, so that you can pay more attention in the future. So let’s talk about how you should adjust your child’s stuffy nose.

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.

Now you should know what to do if your child has a stuffy nose. No matter what situation you encounter in the future, don't panic too much. You can adjust your child's body and then find out the reason. This way you can pay more attention in the future parenting process and also summarize some experience.
