My baby has a stuffy nose at night but nothing happens during the day. What's going on?

It is quite common for babies to have nasal congestion at night but not during the day. This situation is very troublesome for parents. They don’t know whether medication can be used. In fact, in addition to medication, there are many other ways to relieve nasal congestion. You can use a warm towel to apply to the nose, or gently massage the nose. So let’s take a look at why babies have nasal congestion at night but not during the day.

First, why does the baby have a stuffy nose at night but not during the day? If the baby has a stuffy nose at night but not during the day, this may be a stuffy nose, which is related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the baby's nose. Babies have small nasal cavities, short nasal passages, and soft nasal mucosa with abundant capillaries, so they are more susceptible to congestion and edema than adults. When the nose is blocked, it affects normal breathing.

Second, children whose conditions are not serious can take the following treatment measures: 1. Apply a warm, wet towel to the base of the baby's nose, which can provide some relief. Brief use of 0.5% ephedra

Apply nasal drops, one drop on each side. Use 3-4 times a day, not too many times. If it is caused by blockage of secretions, you can drop a drop of breast milk into the baby's nasal cavity and wait for the secretions to soften and then be discharged on their own. You can also use a thin cotton swab dipped in a little water to insert it into the nostril and gently rotate it to roll up the nasal secretions and drag them out with the cotton swab.

Third, if the baby's nose is blocked, mothers don't need to worry too much. They can use the following methods such as steam fumigating the nose, sucking out the mucus with a nasal aspirator, massaging the nose, etc. to relieve the baby's symptoms. Steam your nose. You can open the lid of the thermos and slowly let your baby get closer to the steam, without burning his face. Let the steam fumigate his nose to help nasal ventilation. It will be effective after about 10 minutes each time. Use a nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus. If your baby is relatively young and cannot blow his nose, you can use a nasal aspirator to help him suck out the snot. Be careful not to use too much force when sucking. After blowing out the snot, your baby will feel that his nose is more unobstructed. Because nasal discharge during a cold is a manifestation of the body's immunity, and the cold virus multiplies in large numbers in the nasal tissue cells, the secreted nasal discharge can carry the large numbers of multiplied viruses out of the body, which is a way for the body to detoxify, so the nasal discharge must be cleaned up in a timely manner.
