In the cold winter, babies are prone to catching colds and their noses are not ventilated, especially young babies. If the baby's nose is blocked, it will affect breathing and sleep. At this point, parents can use their index finger and thumb to pinch their baby's nose and gently massage it from top to bottom, allowing the nose to breathe quickly. Can a baby take a shower if their nose is blocked?
When a baby is sick, it is usually possible to give them a bath. Taking a bath helps with the recovery of a baby's condition. But for a child with a stuffy nose, because he is in a diseased state, he needs to pay special attention to some things, such as room temperature and water temperature during bathing. Generally speaking, when taking a shower, it is best to maintain the ambient temperature at around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, which is a relatively warm temperature. Do not use water that is too hot or too cold. To avoid physical exertion on the baby, the shower time should not be too long. Wipe the baby dry as soon as possible after showering to avoid rapid local heat loss and worsening of the baby's symptoms.
In most cases, it's not a big problem for babies to have a stuffy nose. But if a child's nose is not ventilated for too long, even affecting sleep, diet, and mental state, parents should pay extra attention. Suggest finding an otolaryngologist for further examination. Pay attention to letting children rest more, exercise appropriately, and enhance their body's resistance to diseases in daily life.
