For parents and friends, they must be very interested in knowing methods to relieve children's cold and nasal congestion. Here are a few tips for everyone.
1. When a baby's nose is blocked, mothers can use salt water to drip into the baby's nose, thereby diluting the mucus and making it easier to clean. At the same time, medical cotton swabs or nose pumps can also be used to remove the nasal mucus from the child's nostrils.
2. Raise the baby's head. When a baby is sleeping, placing a pillow under their head can make them feel more comfortable.
