Causes and treatments for runny nose in newborns

In fact, we often need to be extra careful in caring for newborns. First of all, we must pay attention to keeping them warm. Otherwise, we cannot use medicines indiscriminately if we catch a cold. It is best to use diet therapy. So let us take a look at the causes and relief methods of runny noses in newborns.

Mitigation methods:

1. Clear your baby's nasal secretions in time. If there is a lot, use a nasal aspirator to remove them.

2. When removing nasal crusts, avoid picking the baby's nose with your hands to avoid damaging the delicate nasal mucosa and causing bleeding and infection. The correct method is: if the nasal crust is blocked at the nostril opening, you can use a small sterilized cotton swab to gently roll it off. If the nasal mucus is deeper in the nasal cavity, you can first drop 1 to 2 drops of saline, cold boiled water or breast milk into the nostrils to allow the nasal crust to slowly moisten and soften. Then gently squeeze the nose wings to make the nasal crust gradually loosen, and then use a sterilized cotton swab to roll away the nasal crust.

main reason:

1. Nasal congestion caused by cold: manifested as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sometimes accompanied by fever symptoms. In such a situation, you should first pay attention to keeping warm. In addition, you can use a warm, wet towel to apply heat to the baby's nose (not too hot), twice a day, each time for about 15 minutes.

2. Nasal congestion caused by acute sinusitis: Repeated upper respiratory tract infections in babies can affect the sinus mucosa, causing congestion and swelling, increased secretions, and causing acute sinusitis. In addition to nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and mouth breathing, more serious symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, and irritability. If your baby has a cold, parents should first actively seek treatment. Take your baby to see an ENT doctor in time, and choose antibiotics reasonably under the doctor's guidance to completely cure the disease and prevent recurrence.
