How to effectively care for a baby’s frequent nasal congestion?

Answer

  1. Use a cotton swab to gently remove nasal secretions, or drop a small amount of lubricating oil to soften the secretions before clearing them.
  2. Apply a warm, moist towel to the nose to constrict the nasal mucosa, which can help alleviate nasal congestion.
  3. Change the baby’s sleeping position; if left-sided congestion, sleep on the right side, and if right-sided congestion, sleep on the left side.
  4. Massaging the nasal acupoints can effectively relieve nasal congestion.
  5. Holding the baby upright can help alleviate nasal congestion and promote sleep.
  6. Pay attention to indoor ventilation, maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity, which is beneficial for alleviating symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose.
