The arrival of a 55 day old baby has surprised parents greatly, but with it comes the pressure of taking care of the baby. Because babies are very fragile, experiencing nasal congestion and sneezing can make parents very worried, and this symptom also makes babies feel uncomfortable. So, what should a 50 day old baby do if they have nasal congestion and sneeze?
If a baby who is 50 days old catches a cold, the first thing to check is their basic condition. If the baby's physical condition is good, with only nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, but no fever, no obvious cough, and no impact on normal eating and sleep, medication may not be needed temporarily. Because colds are often caused by viral infections and are usually self limiting, most of them will heal on their own within 5-7 days.
If the baby's symptoms are quite obvious, it is best to first seek medical attention at the ear, nose, and throat department of a local public hospital to let the doctor understand the cause of nasal congestion. Because there are various reasons that can cause nasal congestion, upper respiratory tract infections can cause nasal congestion, rhinitis can also cause nasal congestion, and nasal congestion caused by upper respiratory tract infections can be accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, headache, and elevated white blood cells.
If the baby frequently experiences nasal congestion and sneezing, they can temporarily skip showering and wipe their body appropriately. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. Let the baby rest and drink more water every day. Due to the incomplete physical function of newborns, parents cannot privately give their babies medication, otherwise it will harm their health. Therefore, it is best to consult a doctor in a timely manner and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
