Nasal mucus is a waste product secreted by the nose. If not cleaned up in time, it will accumulate more and more, and in severe cases, it may cause rhinitis. Especially when the baby's body resistance decreases, they are prone to runny nose during autumn and winter seasons, which can turn into nasal discharge. So, is having a lot of baby's nasal discharge due to a cold?
Is a baby with a lot of nasal discharge catching a cold
A baby's nose may have caught a cold, or it may have been caused by the body catching a cold. The mucous membrane of the baby's nose is very fragile and can easily produce a large amount of secretions when stimulated by cold. In addition, if the weather is too dry or the air quality is poor, it is also easy to have nasal discharge. Therefore, having a lot of nasal discharge may not necessarily be a cold, but it could also be caused by other reasons.
How to prevent colds in spring babies
1. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in spring, so do not wear too many clothes for your baby. Make sure to add or remove clothes at any time. If you wear too much, when the temperature rises, he will sweat due to excessive activity, and it is easy to catch a cold if he is blown by the cold wind. When choosing clothes for babies, it is best to choose ones with good breathability.
2. After the cold winter has passed, it is advisable for babies to engage in outdoor activities. Sunbathing babies can promote calcium absorption, enhance their body's disease resistance, and reduce the occurrence of colds. When going out, avoid crowded places and wash your baby's hands when you come back. If a family member has a cold, pay attention to indoor ventilation and it is necessary to reduce contact with the baby.
