How to Deal with Children’s Nasal Congestion and Runny Nose

Question

A child has been suffering from nasal congestion for a month and there is always runny nose inside. What are the solutions?

Answer

1. Use a cotton swab or cotton bud dipped in water to gently clean the nasal cavity, which helps to expel runny mucus.
2. Heat therapy on the nose can promote the contraction of the nasal mucosa, making the nasal passage more open.
3. Change the baby’s position, lying on the right side if there is congestion on the left side, and on the left side if there is congestion on the right side, or hold upright, all of which can help alleviate nasal congestion.
