What should I do if my one-month-old baby’s nose is blocked?

We all know that when a stuffy nose occurs, it is necessary to relieve it in time, because a stuffy nose will cause the body to be very uncomfortable, but for children, they don’t know what to do when a stuffy nose occurs. At this time, the child will just cry and make a fuss, so the mother will be very anxious. Let me explain to you how to relieve nasal congestion!

Steam your nose. You can open the lid of the thermos and slowly let your child get closer to the steam, without burning his face. Let the steam fumigate his nose to help nasal ventilation. It will be effective after about 10 minutes each time.

Use a nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus. If the child is young and cannot blow his nose, you can use a nasal aspirator to help him suck out the snot. Be careful not to suck too hard. After blowing out the snot, the baby will feel that his nose is more unobstructed. Because nasal discharge during a cold is a manifestation of the body's immunity, and the cold virus multiplies in large numbers in the nasal tissue cells, the secreted nasal discharge can carry the large numbers of multiplied viruses out of the body, which is a way for the body to detoxify, so the nasal discharge must be cleaned up in a timely manner.

If it is a cold or typhoid fever, you can let your child drink brown sugar ginger water. Add more ginger and make sure it is not spicy. Let your child sleep after drinking it. It is best to cover him with a quilt to sweat. This will help the cold get better and the nose will no longer be blocked.

Massage your nose. You can use your thumb and index finger to massage your nose from the corner of the eye downward and then upward to promote normal blood circulation in the nose and help relieve nasal congestion symptoms.

Use a nasal patch to help. Although it is not recommended to use it frequently, if the child has severe nasal congestion, it can be used appropriately to relieve the symptoms.

After my careful and earnest explanation, everyone can now understand it. However, because nasal congestion is not a serious disease, and not every time it occurs, it will last for a long time, so don't be overly nervous when it occurs. At this time, the mother only needs to provide symptomatic treatment to relieve the child's pain in time. So don't be too nervous, just keep a good mood.
