How to relieve nasal congestion in three-year-old babies

If a 3-year-old baby's nose is blocked, it will seriously affect the child's breathing. Therefore, many parents are particularly worried that their children will have a serious impact on their breathing if this happens. So they want to fully understand the relief methods. The following is a detailed introduction to the relief methods for many parents, so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Drink scallion water

Take 5 green onions, remove the white parts and wash them, add 40 ml of water, bring to a boil and then simmer for 3 minutes, add a small amount of sugar, put it in the bottle, and let the baby drink when the temperature is right.

2. Saline nasal drops

Put 1 teaspoon of salt in 240 ml of warm water, put it in an empty eye drops bottle, hold the baby upright, drop 1 drop into each nostril, then let the baby lie down for a while and use a nasal washer to suck out the secretions.

3. Use wet wipes to wipe your nose

Prepare a small towel, soak it with warm water, and then gently press and rub the baby's nose. Repeat this many times. The snot or nasal congestion will be softened by water and can be easily wiped off.

If you wipe your baby's nose with a warm, wet towel before going to bed, and then drop 1 to 2 drops of cooling oil or mint water on the pillow, his nose will be more comfortable when he sleeps.

Things to note when dealing with a stuffy nose:

1. When using cotton swabs, be careful not to let the cotton swab hurt the nasal mucosa because babies will move around.

2. Babies will use sneezing to clear foreign objects from their nostrils, and they will also sneeze when suddenly exposed to cold air. This is a normal phenomenon. Unless you have a runny nose, there is no need to worry.

3. Letting your baby breathe in some moist water vapor can also make it easier to clear nasal secretions and relieve nasal congestion symptoms. You can put hot water in the bathroom to create steam, and let your baby inhale it for 3 to 5 minutes before clearing the snot.

4. Pay attention to the problem of dry air. The baby's nose will feel uncomfortable and the room needs to be humidified.

5. If the nasal mucus is dry and severely blocked, you can ask the doctor to use special small instruments to treat it. Do not treat it casually.

If a three-year-old baby has a stuffy nose, parents must pay attention to it. If this situation is not treated in time, it will seriously affect the child's breathing. So after understanding the relief methods, you can use the above introduction and the completed methods to improve your baby's stuffy nose as soon as possible through relief methods.
