Some babies often have a runny nose, which can cause distress and worry for their mothers. Because apart from a runny nose, there are no other abnormalities in the baby's body. Generally, a cold and fever can cause nasal congestion and runny nose, but babies do not show obvious signs of a cold or fever. So, what is the reason for babies having runny nose?
1. A baby often has a runny nose, mainly because the nasal cavity is not yet fully developed. If exposed to cold air, some odorous gases, or polluted air, it can cause allergic reactions in the baby's delicate nasal cavity, resulting in runny nose. And this type of snot is mostly watery. So parents also need to take preventive measures from these reasons, which can reduce the occurrence of runny nose in babies.
2. Mild colds caused by wind chill can also easily lead to frequent runny nose in babies. This wind cold type of cold, most babies do not experience body fever, so other symptoms are not very obvious and are easily overlooked by parents. So, it is necessary to take good measures to keep warm and avoid the baby catching a cold, which may cause wind cold and flu.
3. If a baby frequently has a runny nose, which is yellow or purulent, it should be taken seriously. Because this type of nasal mucus, also known as baby's body fire, is mainly caused by bacterial infection and often related to inflammation inside the nasal cavity, it is necessary to take the baby for timely examination to determine whether they have pediatric rhinitis.
