What should I do if my child has nose inflammation?

With the rapid development of industrialization, our lives have become more and more affluent, but at the same time, environmental pollution has become more and more serious. Air pollution has brought us great harm, especially for children, who have weaker resistance and are more likely to become susceptible groups. Many children have symptoms of nasal inflammation. How should we solve this problem? The editor has a tip for moms out there.

1. Continuous clear runny nose: For most young children, if their runny nose is caused by nasal allergies or colds, they can stop the symptoms by taking medicine. Clear water running from the nose may be due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage, which may indicate the existence of a fissure between the nasal cavity and the brain cavity. This is a very dangerous and urgent situation and you must seek medical attention immediately for examination and treatment.

2. Yellow snot: When the color of nasal discharge changes from clear water to yellow and sticky, it means that the nasal cavity may have been infected by bacteria or viruses, causing inflammation or even suppuration. At this time, a doctor needs to prescribe some antibiotics for treatment.

3. Feeling of difficulty breathing and wheezing: Especially when breastfeeding, because the mouth is blocked by the nipple and food, and the nasal cavity is originally blocked, breathing becomes more difficult. At this time, the baby will show symptoms such as irritability, dark face (cyanosis), flaring nostrils, and sunken chest.

4. Fever, swollen nose, severe cough and poor energy: These symptoms may indicate other more complicated problems, such as sinusitis or pneumonia, so they should not be taken lightly. Parents can use a hot, wet towel to apply hot compresses to the nose at home. The nasal mucosa will shrink when heated, and the nasal cavity will be more unobstructed. At the same time, the sticky mucus will also easily hydrate and flow out.

Now mothers should have some understanding of what to do when their children’s noses are inflamed. There are many reasons for nasal inflammation, environmental pollution or allergies may cause inflammation. If you have nasal congestion, don't take it for granted. You must go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive professional treatment.
