Patient's question:
My baby is four months old and has a stuffy nose, which affects his naps. Especially at night, he makes snoring sounds and can't fall asleep. What should I do? I've also gone to the health center, and they said there's nothing wrong. I visited an ear, nose, and throat doctor, but they just looked with a flashlight. However, I'm worried it might be due to enlarged adenoids.Doctor's answer:
For a baby in this condition, both rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy can be the causes. If you are concerned about adenoid hypertrophy, it is recommended that you take the baby to the otolaryngology department for a follow-up examination and have a nasal pharyngeal X-ray taken for a thorough check.Since the baby has nasal congestion, it is suggested that you use saline nasal spray to treat it. Also, pay attention to keeping the baby warm and prevent colds. Additionally, you can clean the nasal cavity by yourself to rinse it thoroughly, which can also effectively alleviate symptoms and reduce nasal and pharyngeal inflammation.
