What to do if your baby's nose is always blocked

1. Cleaning nasal debris. For children, once a blocked nose occurs, the first thing parents should consider is that the nostrils may be blocked by too much debris in the nasal cavity, such as some nasal mucus. At this time, parents can use other methods to help us clean the nasal cavity, such as using some special cotton swabs to help children take out some nasal mucus in the nasal cavity, so that the child may no longer have a blocked nose.

2. Cover the child's fontanelle. Another situation is that once a child has a stuffy nose, it may be caused by a cold. So if the situation is not very serious at this time and you want to relieve the stuffy nose, then one way is to warm the palms of our hands and then place them on the child's fontanelle. In this way, after the child breathes for a while, it can help relieve the stuffy nose to a certain extent. However, if the cold is more serious, it is necessary to use medication to treat it in time. The corresponding treatment methods are different for different situations. In addition, in daily life, we must pay attention to keeping children warm, especially if children sweat easily, we should try not to change their clothes. Otherwise, sweating and exposure to wind are most likely to cause catching a cold. At the same time, you should prepare some common cold treatment medicines for children at home.
