Analysis of the causes of baby's nasal congestion

Some special diseases, such as congenital nasal deformity, can cause nasal congestion in babies. These children suffer from severe breathing difficulties and cyanosis immediately after birth.

There is also a disease called "hypertrophy of proliferative bodies", which can also cause nasal congestion, runny nose, snoring during sleep and hearing loss in babies.

In addition, from the perspective of the anatomical structure and physiology of the nose, babies are more prone to nasal congestion than adults. The baby's nasal cavity is small, and any slight swelling of the nasal mucosa will significantly affect nasal ventilation and cause nasal congestion. The baby's nostrils are also small, and a small piece of booger can block the entire nostril, making it impossible to breathe. Babies are more sensitive to cold than adults and will experience nasal congestion if they get a little cold.

Home Care Methods

When your baby has a stuffy nose, you can first use a flashlight to check whether there is any mucus in the nostrils, and then deal with the situation accordingly.

If you have a booger, you need to remove it.

If there is booger in the baby's nostrils, you can gently pinch the outside of the baby's nostrils and the booger may fall off, or induce the baby to sneeze to clear it out.

If the above method is ineffective, you can drip a small amount of cool boiled water or some anti-inflammatory nasal drops or eye drops into the nostrils, wait for them to soften, and then use the above method. You can also use a small cotton swab to remove the "booger". Experienced parents can use tweezers to remove it. This is the fastest and most effective method, but be careful not to insert the tweezers too deep.

Therefore, after a comprehensive understanding, in order for children to relieve their stuffy noses as soon as possible and maintain their health, they must do a good job of care to keep their children away from the impact of stuffy noses.
