Question
What to Do When a Child Can’t Breathe Through Their Nose While Sleeping at Night?
Answer
Nasal congestion while a child sleeps at night may be caused by a viral cold, typically lasting 3 to 5 days and resolving on its own. Parents should monitor the child’s temperature and mental state, and take oral medication while ensuring plenty of hydration. If the congestion is severe, a warm compress can help alleviate symptoms.
