Infant respiratory system development is immature, with relatively short and small nasal cavities, richly vascularized nasal mucosa. Under external influences, the nasal mucosa is prone to congestion and swelling, leading to a significant increase in nasal secretions, often manifesting as nasal congestion.Provide the baby with adequate water intake, and use a humidifier or place several bowls of water in the room to enhance indoor air humidity. Frequently open windows for ventilation to ensure fresh air circulation. You can also use a warm towel to apply to the nasal root to reduce discomfort or nasal congestion symptoms.
Closely monitor the baby's body temperature, appetite, and mental state. If any abnormalities or frequent coughing occur, seek follow-up care promptly and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
