If children get sick, they will be tormented by the disease, and their physical and mental health will be affected. At the same time, it will also make parents worried and anxious. For example, if a child has nasal congestion and their breathing is affected, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. Let's take a look at what to do if a child has nasal congestion?
1. Cleaning nasal crusts: If there are too many nasal crusts blocking the nose in children, you can first use steam to soften the nasal crusts. You can try several times and slowly remove the nasal crusts.
2. Symptomatic treatment: Childhood nasal congestion is usually caused by a cold, so when treating nasal congestion, it is important to first treat the cold. After the cold is cured, the condition of nasal congestion can also be relieved.
3. Hot compress the nose: Use a damp towel to apply heat to the child's nose, specifically to the base of the nose, which can reduce nasal secretions and make the child's breathing smoother.
4. Opening windows for ventilation: Maintaining indoor air circulation is also very important. Regularly opening windows for ventilation can reduce the irritation of bacteria and dust mites in the air to children's nasal mucosa, and can also timely relieve children's nasal congestion.
5. Steam bath: When a child's nose is not ventilated, parents can give them a hot bath. Before the child enters the bathroom, turn on hot water to fill the bathroom with steam.
6. Normal saline nasal spray: In addition to relieving nasal congestion, children can also use saline spray to improve. Pay attention to purchasing medical normal saline.
