Infants and young children are prone to nasal congestion and colds in cold weather, which will have a certain impact on the baby's health and make parents very anxious.

It has serious side effects, especially for infants and young children, and may cause harm to their health. But for adults, it is a good medicine to relieve nasal congestion. The infant's nervous system is not fully developed, so it is very sensitive to drugs. After the drug enters the body, it will cause many uncomfortable symptoms in the infant, such as drowsiness, vomiting, hypothermia, etc., and may even cause the baby to fall into a coma.

Second, baby saline nose drops can relieve nasal congestion. It is generally recommended to relieve symptoms of nasal congestion in infants by applying warm, wet towels to the nose or forehead. You can also use a humidifier to reduce indoor dryness and relieve nasal congestion. Experts introduced a good way, which is to drop a drop of saline solution into the baby's nostrils. This will help moisten the nasal cavity and relieve nasal congestion. Saline solution can also help soften dry nasal crusts in the nasal cavity. Alternatively, you can use physiological seawater spray to relieve nasal congestion.

How effective is baby saline solution in treating nasal congestion? If the nasal congestion is severe, you can also use furosemide nasal drops to put a drop in the baby's nostrils, but the amount should not be too large, otherwise the vasoconstrictor ephedrine in it will cause side effects and endanger the baby's health. In short, infant nasal congestion can be relieved with normal saline solution, but it is recommended to carefully consider medication. Because babies are too young, allergic reactions to drugs or side effects of drugs may cause harm to their health. Generally speaking, unless it is not very serious, medication is not recommended for treatment, and normal saline is a good way to relieve the symptoms.
