How to deal with a 3-year-old baby's stuffy nose?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed that the little baby's nose has been making snorting sounds. The last time they cried, they accidentally sneezed out two pieces of snot, but today they've started snorting again.
Past treatment and effectiveness: I don't know why this is happening? What kind of help is needed: Is this situation usually a big problem? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to the child's condition description, it is mainly found that there is a situation of respiratory obstruction. Currently, the main issue is to consult on the cause and further measures to resolve the problem.
1. From the child's condition, it may be possible that respiratory secretions are causing local blockage in the respiratory tract. In this case, it is recommended not to worry too much for the time being. Pay attention to drinking more water and getting sufficient rest, as it generally tends to recover on its own.
2. If there is a recurrence of significantly increased respiratory secretions, it should be considered that it may be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. In this case, it is recommended to promptly visit the outpatient department of a local hospital for follow-up. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment should be provided.
