Newborn baby nose collapse

Many parents will find that their children have a collapsed nose when they are just born. This is a relatively common phenomenon, mainly because the child's development is not yet complete. When the child grows up, the nose will be able to develop normally and will not collapse. Of course, if the baby's nose is still flat after a certain period of time, parents can pinch the child's nose appropriately to help the nose become straight!

1. What are the reasons for the collapse of the baby's nose bridge?

The baby's collapsed nose bridge may be because the baby has just been born and the various functions of the body have not yet functioned well, so the mother does not need to worry too much about this problem. Or the mother can pinch the baby's nose frequently, which can help to raise the nose bridge. However, you must pay attention to the strength when pinching, because the baby's cartilage tissue is very soft when it is just born, otherwise there may be side effects. It is best to let nature take its course. As long as the baby grows up a little, it will definitely improve.

2. What to do if the baby's nose collapses

1. Because the baby's nose bridge has not yet fully developed, it will definitely get better when the baby grows up. You can usually pinch the baby's nose bridge with your hand to improve the symptoms. You must pay attention to proper feeding and regular calcium supplementation.

2. Don't worry, there doesn't seem to be any problem at the moment. The phenomenon of collapsed nose is related to genetics. Let's observe when the child is older. If it affects the child's appearance, plastic surgery can be performed after the child reaches adulthood.

3. Younger teenagers can buy special nose clips and use them to clamp the bridge of the nose when they have nothing to do. This will help shape the base of the nose and have a heightening and solidifying effect.

3. What are the consequences of improper pinching of a baby's collapsed nose?

1. Induce otitis media

We all know that the five major organs in the human head are identical to each other. Because the human Eustachian tube is short, thick and straight, when parents pinch their baby's nose bridge, it is very likely that the baby's nasal secretions will enter the baby's ears, which may cause the risk of otitis media.

2. Be careful of your baby's habitual eye contact

Although the baby's vision is not fully developed after birth. But when mom or dad pinches the baby's nose, at such a close distance, the baby will subconsciously look at your hand or resist your hand. In this way, the baby's nose bridge will not become straighter, but the baby may develop the habit of crossing his eyes or scratching his eyes.

3. Damage to baby's nasal cavity

The bridge of the nose of an adult is cartilage tissue. For a baby, their bridge of the nose is even weaker. In addition, the human nasal cavity is rich in blood vessels. If you pinch the baby's nose frequently, it is easy to cause congestion of the blood vessels in the baby's nasal cavity and damage the baby's nasal mucosa, thereby reducing the baby's nasal defense function. This will not only affect the baby's breathing, but also easily cause the baby to suffer from respiratory tract infections.
