Question
My baby is three months old, and this morning I noticed that his breathing sounds very loud through his nose, as if there’s a lot of mucus stuck inside, but I didn’t see any mucus in the nostrils. The baby is eating and seems fine, but his nose sounds particularly blocked when he breathes. What’s going on? What should I do?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, your baby’s stuffy nose may be due to a cold. It is advisable for you to measure the baby’s temperature to see if there is a fever, and at the same time, pay attention to keeping them warm to prevent catching a cold. If other abnormal symptoms are detected, medical attention should be sought immediately. Since babies have weaker resistance, special attention is needed.
