What to do if your child has a stuffy nose

Many parents are worried about children's stuffy nose, because stuffy nose means that their children have a cold or other problems, so many parents want to fully understand what to do. The following content provides a detailed introduction. For many parents, in order to help their children recover from nasal congestion as soon as possible, they can have a comprehensive understanding of the following content.

1 Use steam to fumigate 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4. 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.

5 Use a nasal patch to cure it. 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.

For many parents, after fully understanding the above introduction, when their children have a stuffy nose, they must take their children to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible, find out the cause through the examination, and improve the child's stuffy nose as soon as possible through treatment.
