Nowadays, many children are infected with rhinitis due to resistance issues, some of which are allergic rhinitis, especially at night when they may experience nasal congestion. Some are very serious and usually require medication or physical infrared treatment when going to the hospital for treatment. However, some cannot be cured. Below, we will introduce health knowledge about baby rhinitis.
1、 What to do if a child has rhinitis and nasal congestion when sleeping at night
1. If the baby has a cold, the mother can make the baby lie on the bed and rub the baby's back through clothes. Rubbing up and down has a certain effect on preventing colds. If the nose is not ventilated, gently rub the baby's small ears until they turn red, which can also relieve nasal congestion.
2. In the early stages of a baby's cold, if the nose is not ventilated, you can place a slightly hot ginger paste on the soles of the baby's feet while sleeping at night, which can help the nose breathe smoothly and make the cold faster. Method: Cut ginger into shreds and stir fry in a dry pan until fragrant (if slightly burnt, it doesn't matter). Place the stir fried ginger shreds in a small gauze bag, and then place the slightly hot ginger shreds in the bag on the soles of the baby's feet.
3. Hot compress method: If the nose is not ventilated, it may be caused by the baby's fontanelle catching a cold. Mothers can use a thick towel to release heat around the radiator or wrap it in a container filled with boiling water; You can warm up the baby's fontanelle for a while and apply heat continuously until the baby's forehead sweats. If you can't tell if the baby's fontanelle is cold, you can also give it a try. This is not harmful to the baby.
4. Clean the nasal scab of the baby. If the nasal scab in the baby's nose causes stuffiness, mothers should promptly remove the nasal scab for the baby, but cannot directly dig it out by hand, as this may damage the baby's nasal mucosa. If it is severe, it may cause bleeding and infection; You can also use a small clip specifically designed to clean baby's nasal discharge (preferably when the baby is sleeping, be sure to move quickly to avoid the baby not cooperating and injuring the baby). If the nasal scab is relatively dry, you can first let the baby inhale a little damp water vapor, inhale for 3-5 minutes, and then clean it.
The above is about the solution to nasal congestion in babies when they sleep at night. The above methods are all effective, just choose one to use. If it is rhinitis, it needs to be treated first and the root cause needs to be removed. The best method is to sleep in a different position, which usually clears the nose. If there is no effect, go to the hospital.
