Question

How to deal with baby nasal congestion?

Answer

Nasal congestion in infants is one of the symptoms of rhinitis. For nasal congestion caused by common colds, it usually resolves itself within one to two weeks. If it persists for more than two weeks, it may indicate a case of rhinitis. In addition to conventional treatments, using saline nasal irrigation can be effective, as it has no side effects. Although it takes longer to see results, it is beneficial for those without turbinate hypertrophy or nasal polyps. Moreover, proper nasal care can help reduce the frequency of rhinitis attacks.
