What should I do if my baby has a stuffy nose and snores?

Taking care of a child is a very difficult task. If you have no experience, it is easy to get flustered because the baby cannot express his or her condition through language. Therefore, in the process of taking care of the child, you should not only observe the baby's every move, but also learn some emergency methods. Some babies will snore due to nasal congestion. So what should you do if your baby snores due to nasal congestion?

First, what should I do if my baby has a stuffy nose and snores? Normal children will not snore or have a stuffy nose when they sleep. Once they snore during sleep, it means that the child's proliferative body is hypertrophic and needs to be checked by an ENT department.

Go to the ENT department for examination. If the hypertrophy of the adenomatous body is severe, surgical treatment is required if necessary. Otherwise, it may cause the baby to suffocate and be in danger if it continues to develop.

Second, the decoction and fumigation method: chop a small handful of scallions or three or four shallots (onions) into a soup, inhale the hot steam with your nose, or boil vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor, both of which have better therapeutic effects. 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. Side-lying massage method: If you have left ear congestion, lie on your right side; if you have right nasal congestion, 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 nasal congestion can be removed. Hot 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 acupoints, and Dazhui acupoints, and nasal congestion can be relieved. 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.

What should I do if my baby has a stuffy nose and snores? Another possible reason for this situation is that if a child has a stuffy nose and snores while sleeping, it is most likely caused by enlarged adenoid tonsils. Long-term snoring during sleep will cause chronic hypoxia of the body's tissues, which will definitely affect health. It is recommended to take your child to see an ENT doctor and check the condition of the adenoid tonsils.
