What to do if your child has a stuffy nose and can't sleep well

In fact, children experience nasal congestion more frequently than adults, because children are prone to many nasal inflammatory diseases, which have a greater impact on the human body. Therefore, children often cannot sleep well due to nasal congestion, often feel dizzy and have headaches, and may even have difficulty breathing due to nasal congestion.
