Brilliant fireworks, colorful and splendid. Baby is the treasure in the hearts of parents, and they want to give more care. Due to the rapid changes in weather, the baby's immune system will weaken, making it easy for them to catch a cold. However, there may be a situation of runny nose, which should be taken seriously by parents. So, what are the solutions for children with runny nose and sneezing?
Let's learn about the methods for children with runny nose and sneezing:
1. Rub the sides of the nose. When a baby has a cold and runny nose, you can try massaging the sides of the nose. Rub the back of your thumb up and down along both sides of the nasal bridge bone for 10 times, up to the fundus and down to the side of your nostrils. After repeated friction, the blood circulation in the nasal cavity will accelerate, the inhaled air will become warmer, and the secretion of nasal mucus will be suppressed to a certain extent, which is beneficial for the recovery of colds.
2. Apply hot compress to the nostrils. When you have a cold and a runny nose, soak gauze or a small towel in hot water, gently wring it out, and apply it to the nostrils several times to help alleviate the symptoms of runny nose. Because the nasal mucosa contracts when exposed to heat, the nasal cavity becomes more unobstructed, and the thick mucus is more likely to hydrate and flow out. It is important to note that the temperature of the hot compress towel should not be too high to avoid causing skin burns to children.
3. Firstly, determine if the baby has a cold. If there is simply a runny nose, sneezing, no fever, and no impact on eating, it indicates that the baby is not suffering from a cold. Do not rush to give the baby cold medicine.
4. Also note that if a baby catches a cold, it can easily trigger allergic rhinitis. Babies are in the developmental stage with low resistance, making them particularly susceptible to allergic rhinitis. It is important to contact a doctor in a timely manner.
5. Prevention comes first. Keep the baby away from allergens. Special attention should be paid to decoration. Try to use green and environmentally friendly decoration materials at home. Try not to use carpets, down comforters, etc., and thoroughly clean the environment.
6. For families with pets, if the baby does not have skin rash or frequent sneezing after coming into contact with the pet, it is good to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the pet in daily life; But if it is diagnosed that the baby is allergic to pet dander, it is really necessary to find a new home for the pet.
Identify the reasons for the child's discomfort and provide targeted treatment. Children are in a developmental stage and are relatively young, so their immunity is relatively low. At this time, parents need to pay attention to it. To cultivate children's interests, it is advisable to engage in physical exercise as much as possible, promote the elimination of toxins, and improve the level of immunity.
