"Little children, slugs".
Babies are more or less running around with their noses in their tracks.
Different colors of snot, parents may feel nauseous when they look at it, so how does the doctor look?
Take you to the doctor's version of "toddler, slug" – different snot, meaning different symptoms.
Sit in rows and look at the snot:
1. Clear water-like snot.
Mostly caused by colds or allergic rhinitis. Rest plenty, drink plenty of water, or take medication as directed by your doctor.
2. White viscous nasal discharge.
Mostly in the aggravation of colds or chronic sinusitis. If it is good for 3-5 days, the problem is not big; if the > 10 days does not get better + there are symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache, the probability of sinusitis is very large.
3. Yellow and green purulent nasal discharge.
If the morning light green snot is normal, the problem is not big; the whole day is yellow-green snot, indicating that there may be an upper respiratory tract bacterial infection; if the > 10 days or yellow-green snot, sinusitis with a high probability of bacterial infection is very high.
4. Green scab-like scabbish.
It will be a little smelly, it is stinky nose, also called atrophic rhinitis.
5. Bloody nasal discharge.
There are blood streaks or small blood clots in the nasal discharge, and if there is no trauma, no hand is stuffed with something (in addition to the nose, there is a foul smell in the nasal cavity), etc., it is likely that inflammation, vitamin K deficiency, blood system diseases and other systemic diseases may be possible.
6. Dragging a long snot.
Long nose + heavy nasal tone + nose is not ventilated, snoring, mostly adenoidal hypertrophy.
Not afraid of colds, afraid of rhinitis:
Many parents say that they are not afraid of the baby's cold and runny nose, they are afraid of the nose of rhinitis,
Indeed, this baby generally has these 2 problems:
1. Allergic rhinitis.
Symptoms: continuous sneezing, itching in the nose, runny snot (pus in case of infection), nasal congestion.
Maybe it's fine during the day, and when you just get up in the morning, it's obvious that your parents will be a little confused" at night. rhinitis? ”
If your baby has seasonal rhinitis, pay special attention to the seasons in March and April and summer and autumn.
2. Sinusitis.
Sinusitis is mostly caused by colds, and after inflammation of the nasal mucosa, inflammation invades the sinuses, causing acute sinusitis.
Symptoms: nasal congestion, purulent discharge, fever and cough, poor spirits, or otitis media, nosebleeds, and arthralgias.
Once acute becomes chronic, the consequences refer to adenoidal hypertrophy: affecting breathing and facial development, long-term memory decline, the baby "long crooked and stupid".
Therefore, once the above symptoms > 10 days after the baby has a cold, usually purulent nasal discharge, N times a year of respiratory inflammation, go to the hospital early.
Snot is going to "see one hit one?" ”
Normal nasal discharge is transparent, mainly water, plus mucin, various antibodies, soluble salts, etc. It generally doesn't flow out. And it has its meaning:
Moisten the respiratory tract and the air you breathe in.
Protects the nasal mucosa and moisturizes the nasal cavity from injury due to dry fissure.
Once pathogenic microorganisms, dust, etc. invade the nasal cavity, take it down (sticky) at the first time to protect the lungs.
Therefore, if you "see one fight one", you will mistakenly injure friendly troops.
But there is too much snot, and it is still necessary to shoot when it is time to shoot. Just sit back and watch. The consequences are evidenced by news:
Because, when the "slug" is long, there will be chronic diseases of the respiratory tract:
After inflammation of the nasal cavity and swelling and congestion of the mucous membrane, nasal congestion will occur, and the opening of the sinus will be blocked, causing inflammation of the sinuses.
Otitis media can also be caused by eustachian tube infection.
Long-term nasal congestion, oxygen inhalation will be relatively insufficient, will affect the baby's sleep, easy to dizziness, headache, memory loss, lack of concentration, easy to get tired.
Finally understand the reason why every time I see rhinitis, the doctor will tell me to say "less cold".
A variety of snot, how to deal with it?
1. Yellow snot.
Drink more water, rinse the nasal cavity with normal sea saline, if it has not improved + fever, go to the hospital and take medicine according to the doctor's instructions.
A word of caution: When spraying the nose with saline, let your baby lean forward (slightly bow his head) to avoid causing a irritating cough from the nasal cavity to the throat.
2. Clear your nose.
Good spirits, eat, sleep and play normally, drink more water and rest more.
If the snot turns yellow and clear, there is no fever + good spirits, sit and wait for self-healing; fever + poor spirits, go to the hospital.
If your baby has a clear nose as soon as he gets to a certain place or comes into contact with pollen, it may be an allergy, stay away from pollen.
3. Occasionally, the snot is bloody or pink.
Cut nails frequently, increase indoor humidity, and discipline your baby not to owe your hands.
4. Brown snot.
There is smog, don't go out to play, house and tear down the house.
5. Black snot.
This means that the baby inhaled second-hand smoke.
In addition to quitting smoking, family members cannot "the baby goes out to play, smoking is fine", and the smoke will be deposited in various places in the house. In short, the place where the baby lives and moves, do not smoke.
There is no second-hand smoke environment, but there is an immune dysfunction disease, go to the hospital immediately.
After reading it, did my parents find that they had a little bit of a sense of snot? Wish your baby good health.
