The respiratory system of infants is not fully developed, with relatively short and small nasal cavities. The nasal mucosa is rich in blood vessels, making it prone to congestion and swelling when exposed to external influences. There is a significant increase in nasal secretions, often resulting in nasal congestion.It is advisable to provide the baby with adequate fluids, use a humidifier or place several bowls of water in the room to enhance indoor air humidity, and frequently open windows for ventilation to ensure fresh air circulation. Applying a warm towel to the nasal root can also help alleviate discomfort or nasal congestion in the upper respiratory tract.
Carefully monitor the baby's 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.
