Patient's question:
My child is a girl and she is already 3 years old. Recently, something has been wrong with her. Could you please ask: What should I do if the baby has a stuffy nose?Doctor's answer:
The baby has developed a stuffy nose again, mainly due to a cold. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to keeping warm and prevent further exposure to cold. If the symptoms are severe, you can use a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the baby's nasal root or massage the Yingxiang acupoints on both sides of the nose, which can help clear nasal congestion. Additionally, give the child a small amount of water to drink and ensure proper ventilation in the room.Next, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
