Some parents may see their baby rubbing the outside of the nose or even picking out the nostrils with their hands, thinking it's not a problem. However, if the baby often does this, it may be a problem with the baby's nose, and if left untreated early, it can easily lead to the root of the problem. So, what should parents do if their baby's nose always itches?
Baby's itchy nose may be due to allergies to certain substances in the environment, such as pollen, dust, or bacterial or viral infections inside the baby's nose. Therefore, parents should always pay attention to their baby's condition. If the baby frequently scratches their nose, they must stop it to prevent the baby from scratching their nose and causing greater harm to their body.
When a baby has an itchy nose and wants to scratch it, you can help the baby gently pinch the baby's nose with your hand for a few seconds before releasing it. If it still doesn't work, repeat the pinching of the nose to relieve the itching symptoms. If the baby has a runny nose, parents need to gently wipe it off for the baby and not make the nose feel itchy and sneeze. And it's best to clean the baby's nasal hygiene every time they wash their face. Hold a handful of water in your hand to let the baby's nose absorb water, breathe through your mouth, and after a while, let the baby hold their breath to allow the water in their nasal cavity to flow out naturally.
In addition, a baby's itchy nose may be due to allergies, and parents need to identify the allergen that causes the baby's itchy nose and prevent it from coming into contact with the baby again; It is also necessary to maintain indoor hygiene, cleanliness, and ventilation to create a clean and safe environment for babies.
