If a baby's nose is uncomfortable, their sleep quality may be affected, and severe nasal congestion may pose a risk of suffocation. If a baby has nasal congestion, parents need to carefully observe and understand what causes it. So what are the reasons for a baby's nasal congestion during sleep at night?
The baby may have caught a cold. If the baby has a cold, it may be slightly worse when they are awake, but it will be more severe when they sleep at night. Parents need to observe whether there is nasal mucus in the baby's nose. If there is, they can use milk or cotton swabs to wet the baby and clean up the dirt, so that the baby's nose will be unobstructed.
If the weather is bad and the baby's physical condition is poor, the nasal mucosa may be infected, which can cause nasal congestion. It may also be due to internal heat, causing the baby's nose to become dry. At this time, a humidifier is needed to make the air more moist, and then give the baby more water to improve.
Baby's nasal congestion may also be a cause of allergic rhinitis. Parents need to understand their baby's allergens and stay away from them to gradually recover. If it is severe, it needs to be treated by taking anti allergic drugs. If parents are unable to determine the cause, they should also identify the cause before treating it accordingly to prevent the wrong medication from having a counterproductive effect.
