The baby's nose is blocked and runny nose may indicate rhinitis or a cold. If the nose is not ventilated, it is easy to hold your breath when breastfeeding, and the milk is not easy to swallow. Over time, it may lead to a decrease in the amount of milk consumed by the baby, resulting in an unhealthy body. What should I do if my baby's nose is blocked and they have a runny nose?
1. If a baby's parents have rhinitis, it is possible to pass it on to the baby. Hereditary rhinitis is difficult to completely cure, and only some methods can be used to alleviate symptoms. You can purchase some physiological saline solution from the pharmacy and rinse the baby's nose to let foreign objects come out, which will make the nose smoother.
2. If the baby has a cold, they should take some cold medicine. They don't like to take medicine, so you can buy some baby specific cold medicine from the pharmacy. These drugs are specially developed for babies and have a much better taste. When the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment and prescribe medication and intravenous infusion according to the condition.
3. Some babies have poor immunity and are prone to getting the flu, which can also cause symptoms such as stuffy nose and runny nose. If we can give them a flu vaccine, their chances of getting the flu will be greatly reduced.
4. Regardless of the disease causing runny nose, it is important to maintain the baby's physical hygiene and develop good habits of cleaning before and after meals. Baby's clothes should also be cleaned regularly. When the weather is good, drying all the bedding can have a preventive effect.
