With the change of temperature, but also into the high incidence of runny nose season, when the child suffered from runny nose, what should parents do?
Causes of runny nose in babies
First, if the baby often runs a clear nose and accompanied by nasal congestion, nasal itching, sneezing and other symptoms, especially after getting up in the morning and sneezing, followed by a clear watery nose, parents should consider whether the baby has allergic rhinitis.
2. Sinusitis. If the secretions of yellow water flowing from the baby's nose, especially after getting a cold for more than 10 days, still have purulent or viscous purulent nasal discharge, it is necessary to consider whether it is suffering from sinusitis and need to take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Third, cold air stimulation. If the baby is only runny nose and good spirits, eating normally, it may be cold air stimulation of nasal cavity caused by runny nose, parents do not have to worry too much, let the baby rest more, drink more water can be relieved.
Proper treatment of runny nose
First, clean the nasal cavity. If the baby has nasal feces in the nasal cavity, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water to clean up after bathing the baby or after a hot compress on the nose, if the baby's nose has more secretions and nasal sounds, parents can use the nasal suction device to clean up, use the nasal suction device to pay attention to, when sucking one side of the nostril, you must press the other side of the nostril at the same time.
Second, warm water to remove cold. If the baby suffers from cold and runny nose, parents can give the baby more hot water or wash their face with hot water, or they can boil water with ginger and green onions to drive the baby away the cold.
3. Raise your head and back slightly when you sleep. Nasal congestion and runny nose will affect the baby's sleep, in order to make the baby sleep more comfortable, the mother can slightly raise the baby's head and back, alleviate the baby's nasal congestion symptoms, let the baby breathe more smoothly, sleep more peacefully.
