During the process of taking care of a baby, I believe many mothers have encountered the phenomenon of their baby's nasal congestion. When a baby has a stuffy nose, they won't sleep well, which makes the mother very tired. But some inexperienced mothers don't know the reason for their baby's nasal congestion. Can babies also experience nasal congestion when they are too hot?
Nasal congestion is a condition that most babies experience, not only when they are cold but also when they are too hot. If the mother dresses the baby too thick for a long time and it gets extremely hot every day, the baby will get angry. The secretions in the nasal cavity will become very dry and difficult to remove, which can cause nasal congestion in babies. In this situation, the mother can use a cotton swab dipped in water to wet the baby's nasal cavity. After the secretion softens, it stimulates the baby to sneeze, and the secretion will be sprayed out together.
If it is summer, when the indoor temperature is high and the baby is particularly hot, they may experience heatstroke. When a baby suffers from heatstroke, there may be symptoms of difficulty breathing, and some babies may also experience nasal congestion at this time. In this situation, the mother needs to find a way to cool down the baby first, take off their clothes, and use a cold towel to apply to the baby's forehead and face. After the baby's symptoms improve, boil some mung bean soup to relieve their heat.
Mothers should always dress their babies appropriately and avoid wearing overly thick clothes. And also pay attention to the indoor temperature. If the temperature is particularly high, open the windows for ventilation in a timely manner, and be sure not to let the baby suffer from heatstroke.
