Babies have poor resistance and are prone to catching colds if they are not careful. Babies are prone to coughing, runny nose, and other symptoms after catching a cold. Excessive nasal mucus can lead to stuffiness in the nose, which can affect the baby's normal breathing. What should a three-year-old baby do if their nose is not ventilated?
When the baby's nose is not ventilated, parents can first use a nasal cannula to suck out the mucus from the baby's nose. Be careful not to use too much force when sucking to avoid injuring the baby. After cleaning the mucus inside the nose, use steam fumigation to ventilate the nose. Prepare a thermos or a bucket of warm water and let the baby slowly approach the steam. Do not get too close to avoid burning the baby's face. Let the baby smoke for about 10 minutes, there's no need to smoke for too long.
If your baby has a stuffy nose caused by a cold, you can try letting them drink some ginger syrup. After drinking it, let them sleep for a while. After the baby sweats, the cold will be relieved and the stuffy nose symptoms will gradually improve.
Parents can also massage their baby's nose every day, using their thumb and index finger to massage from the top to the bottom of the baby's nose. This can promote blood circulation in the baby's nose and alleviate nasal congestion symptoms.
Baby must pay attention to keeping warm after catching a cold, adjust clothing according to the temperature, and never catch a cold to avoid worsening the condition. Drinking plenty of warm water during a baby's cold can not only relieve nasal congestion, but also alleviate other discomforts caused by the cold.
