What to do if your child has a stuffy nose when sleeping at night

Some children always have a stuffy nose or even gasp for breath when they sleep at night. So what should they do if they are blocked from breathing? Is there a good way to relieve it? What causes the blocked nose? Is it a cold or rhinitis? In fact, children are prone to nasal problems when they sleep, so we need to understand what is going on.

External use: Method 1: If the baby's nose is blocked or there is hard object, you can take a cotton swab and dip some sesame oil, slowly rub it in the baby's nostrils to moisten the entire nose. Within two minutes, the baby will sneeze and feel better. Have tried it many times, it's really good. Because my grandma said at that time that sesame oil can reduce internal heat, and it is something you eat so it will definitely not have any negative effects, so everyone can try it.

Method 2: If your nose is blocked at night, you will not sleep well. Grandpa chopped the ginger, heated it in a pan, and then wrapped it around the soles of the baby's feet. Unexpectedly, it really worked. The baby fell asleep soundly after a while. So let me introduce it to you.

The used ginger can still be used and there is no need to waste it.

Decoction and fumigation method: chop a handful of scallions or three or four shallots (onions) into a decoction, inhale the hot air with your nose, or boil vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor. Both methods have better effects.

Filling method: Mash the scallion whites and extract its juice to soak into cotton wool, then stuff the cotton wool into the nostrils. Alternatively, cut a garlic clove into a cylinder slightly smaller than the nostrils, wrap it with a thin layer of cotton or gauze and stuff it into the nostrils. This also has a good effect.

Position change method: When a baby has a stuffy nose, he often cries non-stop. At this time, you can hold the baby upright and he will soon fall asleep peacefully.

If your baby has a stuffy nose, you can use some of the methods above, which may be effective. However, it is easy for babies to develop some diseases, so you still need to use the above remedies when necessary. Maybe you can really cure your child's stuffy nose.
