It is common for children to vomit milk when they are young, and almost every baby will experience it. But some children always have water flowing out of their noses when drinking water, which worries their mothers. So, what should children do if water flows out of their noses?
There are many reasons why children drink water from their noses, which is known as water reflux. If a child's pronunciation is different from that of a normal child, it is necessary to check the development of the child's soft forehead. If there is cleft palate or incomplete closure of the palate and pharynx, it will flow out of the nose after drinking water. In addition, an abscess in the posterior pharyngeal wall can cause this situation. When a child is found to have this phenomenon, it is necessary to promptly take the child to the ENT department for treatment. After identifying the cause, follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
In addition, it is also possible for children to choke when drinking water from their nose. Next time when giving water to children, pay attention to their posture, and the water bottle should be at a 45 degree angle to the baby's head. And the amount of water fed each time should not be too large, following the principle of small amounts and multiple times. After drinking water, burping is usually done by gently tapping the baby's upper back with a hollow palm, so as not to cause the baby to choke.
If the frequency of water flowing out from the nose is relatively high when drinking, the baby should be taken to the hospital for detailed examination to avoid symptoms caused by certain diseases. Early treatment can help the baby recover as soon as possible.
