Nasal congestion can cause difficulty breathing, and if it occurs frequently, it will inevitably have an impact on physical health. Especially for infants and young children, long-term nasal congestion not only affects normal breastfeeding, but also often seriously affects their sleep development due to poor breathing. So, what should I do if a two month old baby has nasal congestion for a month?
1. Firstly, it is necessary to consider whether the indoor temperature is too low. If the indoor temperature is too low, it is easy for the baby to catch a cold, causing congestion of the nasal mucosa and difficulty breathing after nasal congestion. It is advisable to control the indoor temperature for the baby to sleep at around 24 degrees Celsius to avoid discomfort caused by high or low temperatures.
2. It should be determined whether the wind cold type cold is caused by exposure to wind cold. So when a baby is found to have nasal congestion symptoms, it is necessary to observe whether the baby has symptoms such as fever and cough. If this is the case, timely adjustment and treatment should be carried out, especially when there are fever symptoms. It is necessary to avoid the baby's body temperature being too high and take timely cooling measures.
3. Long term nasal congestion and poor breathing should also consider whether there is infantile rhinitis. Especially for infants, their nasal cavities are delicate and have insufficient tolerance to internal and external factors, often leading to allergic rhinitis. So if nasal congestion is caused by symptoms of rhinitis, attention should be paid to environmental hygiene, avoiding irritating odors, and keeping the air fresh. If it cannot be relieved, the baby should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Allergic rhinitis sometimes requires desensitization treatment.
