Why does my ten-month-old baby have a blocked nose?

Many mothers do not know what causes their children's stuffy nose, so when their children have stuffy nose, they will try all kinds of medical treatments in a hurry. This will make the symptoms of nasal congestion more severe and may even cause complications in children. This is very serious and requires proper treatment. Let me explain to you the causes and treatments of stuffy nose!

7. Many children have nasal congestion, which is a symptom of rhinitis. If it is a common cold, it will heal in 1-2 weeks by taking medicine, but if the nasal congestion still exists after 2 weeks, then it will definitely develop into chronic rhinitis. In addition to the common methods of treating rhinitis in children, you can wash the nose with salt water, normal saline will do. This method is currently the safest and healthiest treatment method. There are no side effects. The effect is slower than medication, but if you persist in nasal washing, the effect is very good. Usually you can maintain your nasal cavity well to reduce the chance of recurrence of rhinitis.

Because at present, rhinitis cannot be cured, including Chinese and Western medicine, or even surgery. Even if the symptoms are temporarily relieved or eliminated, it does not mean that they have been cured. Rhinitis is prone to recurrence. As long as you choose the correct nasal washing tools for your child, master the posture and method, and most importantly, persist, the symptoms of nasal congestion will gradually improve. An important point: When washing the nose with saline to treat rhinitis, you must first rinse the nasal vestibule separately, and then rinse the deep nasal cavity. Flushing directly from one nostril to another or directly into the deep nasal cavity can easily flush the dirt in the nasal vestibule directly into the deep nasal cavity. The structure of the deep nasal cavity is very complex and it is easy for dirt to accumulate (this is why some people have trouble blowing their noses).

After reading this article, do mothers feel that when they encounter nasal congestion in daily life, they are desperate to try all kinds of treatments? It doesn’t matter, as long as they correct it in time. Generally speaking, nasal congestion in children will not cause serious problems as long as they are treated promptly.
