Babies are lively and active, and their metabolism is relatively fast. They are prone to catching a cold in sudden weather changes, and the main symptoms of a baby's cold are sneezing and runny nose. Parents are heartbroken, and many new parents do not know how to handle their baby's situation correctly. Let's learn about what to do if a baby has a runny nose.
What should I do if my baby has a runny nose
1. Parents can help their babies get rid of coldness in a timely manner, and keeping warm is very important. They can drink ginger candy water.
2. Special attention should be paid to diet, and cold foods such as radishes and hawthorns should be avoided. Instead, it is recommended to eat more neutral and warm foods.
3. Rub with both hands, and massage the Yingxiang acupoint more than once after the palms are hot, which can alleviate nasal congestion symptoms after catching a cold.
Is it possible that a baby's runny nose is rhinitis
There is also a condition of runny nose - rhinitis. Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from rhinitis, which is also related to their living environment. The baby may also have rhinitis. Many children wake up in the morning and sneeze a few times before starting to have a runny nose. But when I wake up, wash my face, brush my teeth, and engage in physical activity, I no longer sneeze. This is mostly allergic rhinitis. If a child's rhinitis is chronic, not just temporary nasal congestion after catching a cold, but long-term nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose, most of them are suffering from rhinitis.
Flowing water and nasal mucus are common in colds and flu. For children, rhinitis is relatively rare, but it cannot be ruled out that it may be due to rhinitis. Especially in the cold winter, it is important to keep warm to prevent the baby from contracting a cold and having a runny nose. At the same time, it is important to have a rich diet to enhance the baby's resistance and lay a solid foundation for their body.
