Baby's illness is the most worrying thing for parents. After all, babies have low immunity and are prone to common diseases such as colds and fever. For babies with different diseases, different treatment measures need to be taken. So, what should I do if my baby has a fever and nasal congestion?
When a baby experiences nasal congestion, parents should determine whether it is caused by nasal secretions. If so, parents can use a cotton swab to roll out the nasal secretions. Moreover, it is best to apply some ointment that helps soften nasal secretions or use a cotton swab soaked in water to drip into the baby's nostrils at the nasal congestion site. If it is dry secretions, parents can clear the nasal secretions.
Moreover, a warm towel can be applied to the baby's nose. Because the nasal mucosa expands when exposed to heat, the nasal cavity becomes larger, allowing residual mucus to slowly come out and relieve the baby's nasal congestion. When the baby has a fever, parents use warm water to clean the baby's body and cool them down. But don't use alcohol to cool the baby down, it can easily backfire and worsen the baby's condition.
Moreover, parents should pay attention to indoor ventilation, try to maintain an indoor temperature of 24-26 ℃, and keep the indoor humidity constant. If the weather is cold, you can use air conditioning or a heater to change the room temperature and relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion in the baby. If the baby has severe symptoms such as nasal congestion and fever, and cannot breastfeed normally, then it is necessary to see a doctor for treatment.
