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 raises 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 causes of my baby's stuffy nose?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's nose is stuffy, it is likely due to nasal discharge, which can also be caused by a cold. If you don't have a cold, I personally recommend using a dry cotton swab to gently 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 (GB20), and large (GV14) points. This method can help relieve nasal congestion. It is suitable for infants and young children with nasal congestion who often cry. At this time, the baby will straighten up, and they can quickly fall asleep peacefully.
