Patient's question:
Over the past ten or so days, there have been some abnormalities. My baby has been feeling unwell for these past ten or so days. I feel that her nose isn't quite right—when she lifts her head, it seems like she has a stuffy nose and can't breathe properly, which makes me a bit worried. I'd like to consult about the possible causes of her nasal congestion?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's nose is stuffy, it is likely due to nasal discharge, which can be caused by a cold. If you don't have a cold, I personally recommend using a dry cotton swab to remove the nasal discharge. Apply a warm towel to the nose or use a hairdryer to blow warm air into the nostrils, as well as the temples, wind pool acupressure point, and big vertebrae point. This can help relieve nasal congestion. This method is suitable for infants and young children with nasal congestion. They often cry frequently, and at this time, the baby will straighten up, and they can fall asleep peacefully very quickly.
