The baby's various physical skills have not yet fully developed, and many functions are not perfect. Therefore, during the growth process, it is inevitable that some conditions may occur, and it is also inevitable to have minor illnesses. However, parents must take it seriously and relieve the baby's symptoms in a timely manner. What should I do if a nine month old baby has a runny nose?
The clear nasal mucus of nine month old babies is generally caused by catching cold, which may be a viral infection. The common viruses are rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, etc. You can take some designated drugs, or use nasal spray, or do aerosol inhalation treatment.
A nine month old baby with runny nose should first take measures to clear their nasal secretions, usually using physiological seawater. Secondly, medication should be taken to reduce the production of nasal secretions, usually using pediatric pseudoephedrine drops orally. Finally, treatment should be targeted at the causes of the baby's runny nose.
Most babies with runny nose are caused by acute upper respiratory tract infection, which is caused by respiratory virus infection. It is recommended to give babies some antiviral oral solution; Some children are caused by allergic factors and can receive oral medication for anti allergic treatment, while avoiding possible allergens as much as possible; Some children also have chronic rhinitis, which should be examined at a pediatric otolaryngology department and may require local medication in the nasal cavity.
