What to do if baby has thick nasal discharge

The baby has a runny nose due to internal heat after recovering from a cold. This type of influenza can easily cause some respiratory diseases, so when an infant has this condition, it must be treated in time. When choosing a treatment method, you must pay special attention. Let us now understand what to do if the infant has thick nasal mucus?

In view of the current situation, you can let your baby drink more boiled water every day to clear away heat and reduce fire. You can also drink orange peel water to relieve heat. Don't give him cold medicine for now. You can take some anti-inflammatory medicine.

The characteristics of nasal discharge should be considered as bacterial infection, so anti-inflammatory drugs are needed. Clindamycin granules or roxithromycin granules can be used for treatment. Babies are more likely to have this problem when the temperature drops. If it does not heal for a long time, you should go to the ENT department to check whether there is a possibility of rhinitis in the nasal cavity. You should feed your baby more hot water.

If your baby is breastfeeding, just give him more breastfeeding.

If your baby is drinking milk powder, feed him more warm water.

You can use a cotton swab to gently roll up your baby's snot, or apply a hot water towel to the face, which can help relieve the symptoms of a runny nose. You can continue to drink Isatis root for one to two days.

Pay attention to your baby's condition.

The above is the treatment method for baby’s sticky nasal mucus. You can give your baby water appropriately, but it must be hot water, not cold water. In order to ensure the baby's body temperature in life, it is necessary to add or remove clothes for the baby appropriately according to the external environment.
