Question
My child is five months old and has been sneezing frequently lately, and there is a lot of nasal mucus, which needs to be cleaned every day. I also hear him breathing with a whistling sound. I’m not sure if this will have any impact on the child?
Answer
Frequent sneezing and a lot of nasal mucus in a baby are usually due to dry air irritating the nasal mucosa. Firstly, parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and maintain good indoor ventilation and humidity. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination and use appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, encouraging the child to drink warm water, going out for sun exposure, and supplementing trace elements can also help strengthen the child’s resistance.
