The baby is so small that all the organs and functions of the body have not yet fully developed. Especially in the nasal cavity, a slight carelessness can cause nasal congestion. If a baby experiences nasal congestion, they will cry and cry because they cannot sleep well, which will prevent the mother from resting properly. But even novice mothers don't know how to deal with their babies, will their nasal congestion heal on its own?
There are many reasons that can cause nasal congestion in babies, the most common of which are colds and blocked secretions. But regardless of the cause of the nasal congestion, if the mother doesn't help to deal with it, it won't heal on its own. If the baby's nasal congestion is caused by a cold, the mother can hold the baby upright and it will be ventilated in two minutes. When the baby is asleep, you can let them sleep on their side and let their stuffy nostrils flush up, which can also alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion.
If the baby's nasal congestion is caused by secretion blockage, the mother can drop two drops of water into the baby's nasal cavity, let it sit for a few minutes, and then stimulate the baby's nose with a cotton swab or hair strands to make the baby sneeze actively. This way, the secretion will be carried out by sneezing. Alternatively, after the secretion softens, the mother can gently press and massage the baby's nose with her hand, and the secretion will slowly be released.
Mothers can also use warm towels to apply to the baby's fontanelle, but it is important to control the temperature, as soon the baby's nose will be ventilated. If there is ginger at home, the mother can also wrap the ginger thread in gauze and place it on the soles of the baby's feet. After about half an hour, the baby will be ventilated.
