When a child is just born, their respiratory tract is already narrow, just like their nostrils, nasal cavity, and other areas. Sometimes, there may be a lot of secretions in a child's nasal cavity, or external factors can cause swelling of the child's mucous membrane, which can further lead to blockage of the child's nasal cavity. Of course, as children grow older, the phenomenon of nasal obstruction will also decrease. But what should be done when a child's nose is not ventilated?
1. We need to understand the reasons why children have a stuffy nose. A blocked nose in a child may be caused by a cold. During a cold, symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, or fever may occur. It is also possible that the child's nose is blocked due to inflammation of the nasal cavity, which can be accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, increased secretions, and difficulty breathing.
2. When a child's nasal cavity is blocked, parents can try soaking a towel in hot water and applying it to the child's nose, but also be careful not to use too hot towels to avoid damaging the child's skin; Alternatively, a nasal cannula can be used to suck out mucus, but extra caution should be taken when using it and not apply too much force.
3. To avoid children's nose blockage, parents need to start taking care of their children's noses in their daily lives. In daily life, try to avoid letting children get sick as much as possible, and do not let children pick their noses, as picking their noses can easily damage the nasal mucosa and cause nasal inflammation.
