Patient's question:
My little baby is three months old and often holds their breath with great effort. I don't know what the reason is, and I wonder if there is a good solution.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child always has nasal congestion before sleeping. It might be chronic rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy. If it's chronic rhinitis, since the causes are numerous, it's recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a definitive diagnosis and then take medication accordingly. If it's adenoid hypertrophy, it also needs to be checked to confirm and make further plans. It's advised that parents take the child to the relevant department of the hospital for a detailed examination, confirm the cause, and then take medication as prescribed by the doctor. Meanwhile, when the child has nasal congestion at night, parents can use a warm towel to (apply a warm towel to the nose) or let the child sleep on their side.
