A one year old baby is very young, so mothers should pay more attention to their baby's physical condition. Especially during seasonal changes, mothers should add appropriate clothing to their babies according to weather changes. The mother noticed that the baby's nose was a bit blocked and the breathing sound was very rough. What should I do if my one year old baby has nasal congestion?
1. Massage the nostrils
When a mother sees a baby with a stuffy nose, she will be very worried. Mom doesn't need to be too nervous now, as long as she masters the correct methods, she can effectively solve the problem of baby's nasal congestion. First, observe which side of the nose is not ventilated. If it is the left side of the nose that is not ventilated, let the baby lie on the right side. Mom extended her hands and used her fingers to massage both sides of the baby's nose. After the massage, give the baby some warm water to drink.
2. Wash the nose with salt water
Saltwater has a sterilizing effect. When the baby's nose is blocked, the mother can wash the baby's nose with salt water. Before washing the baby's nose, it is necessary to prepare salt water first. Prepare a cup of warm water, add a small amount of salt to it, and stir continuously with chopsticks until the salt melts. Dip a small cotton swab in salt water to clean the baby's nasal cavity.
3. Clean secretions
The reason why the nose is blocked indicates that there is secretion in the baby's nose. To solve the problem of baby's nasal congestion, it is best to clean out the secretions inside the baby's nose. It is best to wait until the baby is sleeping before cleaning the secretions in the nose. Mom also needs to be careful and move quickly to avoid harming the baby if they don't cooperate.
