The child's nose is always stuffy

Sometimes we find that children’s health is the most important thing in life, but what often happens is that children will have symptoms of cold and fever due to different physical conditions. This situation is complicated, and parents are the ones who are most worried about their children's health. Especially children may have problems with nasal congestion in the early stages. Although children need to breathe through their mouths, it will make them very uncomfortable. So what should you do if your child's nose is always stuffy?

Trick 1: Wash your nose with salt water

It is recommended that mothers buy a nasal rinser for their children. When there is secretion in the child's nasal cavity, wash the child's nose with saline solution. This can clear out the secretions in the nasal cavity and allow the child to breathe smoothly. Secondly, normal saline solution has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help the recovery of the disease.

Trick 2: Use a cup of water to irritate your nose

For older children, mothers can fill a cup with warm water, let the child's nose and nipple face the mouth of the cup, and absorb the water vapor coming out of the cup. In this way, the thick secretions in the nasal cavity will be diluted and can then be blown out. Some mothers have facial steamers for beauty purposes, and the steam they produce is very good, so you can lend it to your children.

For younger babies, parents can use cotton swabs to clean their children's nasal cavity. If they clean frequently, the child's nasal cavity will be much more unobstructed.

Tip 3: Take a hot bath

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "cold causes coagulation, coagulation causes blood stasis, and blood stasis causes blockage." Therefore, if a child's nasal cavity is blocked, you may let the child take a hot bath and play in the hot water for a while. Many children's noses will then become breathable.

Trick 4: Rub the chest and back

The lungs open up to the nose, so when a child's nasal cavity is blocked, it is mostly related to lung deficiency and cold. Mothers can put their hands on the child's chest and back, and rub the child horizontally for a hundred times, which can stimulate the lung qi and also help warm the yang and open the orifices.

Secret technique five: rubbing Dazhui and Yingxiang

The Dazhui point is easy to find. When we lower our head, it is the small pit below the bulge on the neck. Dazhui point is a warm point. The yang and hot energy of the three yang meridians of the human body's hands and feet converge at this place, and then go up to the head together with the yang energy of the Du meridian. Therefore, massage this acupoint more often to warm the yang, activate blood circulation, dispel cold and open the orifices. Knead 100 times.

The Yingxiang point is also easy to find. It is the depression about 1 cm on both sides of the nose. Why is it called Yingxiang Point? When the nose is blocked, you can't smell anything. Once you rub it, the nose will be able to breathe and you can smell the fragrance. That’s why it’s called Yingxiang Point. Rub it 100 times on each side.
