Patient's question:
This baby is only a little over two weeks old, but in the past two days, they have developed a stuffy nose. It's not particularly severe, and the doctor at the hospital said to wait and see at home. However, the family is quite worried, so they wanted to ask about the treatment methods for a newborn's stuffy nose?Doctor's answer:
Newborn competition is not particularly severe and does not require treatment; it may result in difficulties with breastfeeding. When the babies compete, they can use a warm towel to cover their noses. They can also gently massage both sides of the bridge of the nose. This can help alleviate nasal congestion symptoms, or nasal congestion can also be relieved by using a warm facial device with steam. It is recommended to improve the indoor environment as much as possible, maintain clean, circulating, and humid air, and give the baby small amounts of warm water multiple times, or use a warm towel to warm the nose, use physiological saline to spray the nose, and care for the nasal cavity to improve ventilation.
