What should I do if my baby's nose is blocked when they get hot1

  Due to the small size of the baby's nasal cavity and the abundant blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, inflammation is prone to occur. When a baby's nose is not ventilated, parents should first check if there is any secretion in the baby's nasal cavity.

  If there is secretion, parents can use a disinfectant cotton swab dipped in a small amount of warm water and gently insert it into their baby's nasal cavity. First, use warm water to soften the secretion in the nasal cavity, and then use a cotton swab to remove the secretion. If it is found after examination that there is no secretion in the baby's nasal cavity, but the nose is still not ventilated, the method of nasal fumigation or hot compress can be used.

  First, steam a bowl of scallion water to fumigate the baby's nasal cavity, and then use the scallion water to fumigate the baby's nasal cavity while it is still hot. This can quickly and effectively alleviate the symptoms of the baby's nasal obstruction. During the process of fumigating the nasal cavity, do not get too close to the baby to avoid scalding their skin with water vapor. The hot compress method is the same, using a hot towel to apply heat to the baby until the forehead is slightly sweaty. When applying hot compress, also pay attention to the temperature of the towel. If the temperature is too high, it can also burn the baby's skin.
