What's wrong with the baby's collapsed nose?

Many people have a collapsed nose. When this problem occurs, you should choose some good improvement methods, which will be of great help in alleviating the collapsed nose. The most common method is surgery. However, you also need to be careful when choosing such a method. You must follow the doctor's instructions and choose a regular hospital. So what's the matter with the baby's collapsed nose? This is also something that many parents don't know. Let me introduce it in detail below.

What is the cause of the baby's collapsed nose bridge?

Babies gain weight fastest in their early years, and what we see is a "full moon face". At this stage, the flat nose bridge and wide distance between the eyes are very obvious, and some nostrils are even pointed upwards. In fact, except for genetic metabolic diseases, this is a normal appearance feature of children.

After the baby's anterior fontanelle closes at the age of 1 to 1.5 years, the facial and nasal bones begin to grow and develop rapidly, and the bridge of the nose slowly grows out.

The changes in the nasal bones are affected by hormone secretion and will continue to develop until puberty when they mature. In addition, the height of the nose bridge should also take into account factors such as genetics, development speed, early nutrition, and nasal trauma.

Because the bridge of the nose of children is cartilage tissue, and the nasal mucosa is delicate and rich in blood vessels, frequent pinching will damage the mucosa and blood vessels, reduce the defense function of the nasal cavity, and make it easy to be invaded by bacteria and viruses.

In addition, children's Eustachian tubes are thicker, shorter, and straighter. Pinching the nose randomly can cause secretions in the nasal cavity to retrograde through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear, causing otitis media.

Some children may have a low nose bridge which may be a sign of disease. They should seek medical attention in time instead of pinching the nose bridge. This situation is often accompanied by slow physical development and intellectual retardation.

After understanding the cause of the baby's collapsed nose bridge, you can improve the situation according to the baby's condition. If the collapsed nose bridge is more serious, you need to seek medical attention. This approach will help alleviate the baby's condition and it will also have some effect on improving the nose bridge bone. Parents should also pay attention to this.
