Question
Recently, I’ve noticed that my little one’s nose is always stuffy. The other day, while crying, I accidentally discovered two pieces of boogers in his nose, but today the stuffy sound has started again. I don’t know what the cause is. What kind of assistance is needed? Is this situation usually serious? How should it be treated?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, the main issue seems to be respiratory obstruction. Currently, it is mainly necessary to consult the cause and further solutions. 1. From the child’s condition, it may be due to respiratory secretions causing regional respiratory obstruction. In this case, there is no need to worry too much; it is recommended to pay attention to drinking plenty of water and getting adequate rest, which will usually recover on its own. 2. If there is a significant increase in secretions, it may be related to upper respiratory tract infection. In this case, it is recommended to go to the local hospital for a consultation and seek appropriate symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
