Solutions for children's stuffy nose when sleeping at night

In modern society, nasal congestion is a very common disease, but long-term nasal congestion will also affect the quality of life and sleep, and may even lead to mental depression. So is there any other way to solve the problem without taking medicine? Today, let’s learn the best way to solve children’s nasal congestion when sleeping.

Nasal congestion is one of the common symptoms in otolaryngology. The most common causes include rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, sinusitis, etc. If your child has a stuffy nose when sleeping at night, there is no need to panic or take medicine. Try the following five home remedies for nasal congestion.

① Decoction and fumigation method: chop a handful of scallion whites or three or four shallots into pieces and boil them into a soup. Inhale the hot steam through your nose, or boil vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor. Both methods have better therapeutic effects.

② 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.

③ Side-lying massage method: If you have a blocked nose on the left side, lie on your right side; if you have a blocked nose on the right side, lie on your left side. Use two fingers to pinch your nose and massage the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. The blocked nose can be removed.

④Hot compress method: Apply a hot towel to the nose, or use a hair dryer to blow hot air into the nostrils, blowing on both sides of the temples, Fengchi acupoint, and Dazhui acupoint, which can relieve nasal congestion.

⑤ Position change method: This method is suitable for babies. When a baby has a stuffy nose, he often cries non-stop. At this time, the baby can be held upright and he will soon fall asleep peacefully.

Finally, I recommend a more effective method:

Yingxiang acupoint location method

The acupoint is usually located in a sitting or supine position. The Yingxiang point is located on the face, in the wrinkle about one centimeter away from the wing of the nose (next to the midpoint of the outer edge of the wing of the nose, in the nasolabial groove).
