Once children catch a cold, they often experience a lack of nasal ventilation, which is why it is common for children to have a cold. If a child's nose is not ventilated, they will cry and make mothers very anxious. So what should we do if a child's nose is not ventilated?
2、 What should I do if my child's nose is not ventilated
Some children often experience nasal congestion, which may be caused by a cold. It is recommended that mothers use medication with caution and use the following methods to relieve nasal congestion in children.
1. Use one clove of garlic to plug the nostril, cut it into a shape that matches the nostril with a knife, and insert it into the nostril. A few consecutive times can cure it.
2. Smell the nose with peppermint oil, and the nostrils will immediately become unobstructed. This medicine can be used multiple times.
3. Washing the nose with salt water can cure a cold and stuffy nose. You can use warm salt water to wash your nostrils carefully for a few days, which can also prevent rhinitis.
4. When foot baths severely affect sleep due to nasal congestion, washing feet with hot water can promote the disappearance of nasal mucosal congestion. It can relieve nasal congestion and regulate the excitation and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, thereby promoting sleep.
3、 The reasons for children's stuffiness in the nose
1. The nasal cavity is a channel with a complex tissue structure, and its inner wall is the nasal septum, which is the partition between the two nasal cavities; The outer wall has three protruding mucosal tissues resembling eaves, called nasal turbinates. When these tissues in the nasal cavity become swollen, have abnormal morphology, or have new tumors, they can narrow the nasal passage, making it difficult for airflow to pass through, resulting in nasal hypopnea.
2. The most common cause of stuffiness in the nose is acute rhinitis that occurs after catching a cold. When the nasal mucosa is infected with viruses or bacteria, the mucosa will become congested, swollen, and secrete more, which can block the nasal airway. Generally, after treatment, the inflammation will improve in about a week.
3. If acute rhinitis is not well treated, the recovery is not good, or the individual's resistance is weak, or if acute inflammation recurs, the inflammation can often remain in a swollen state, with increased secretions, leading to stubborn symptoms of nasal hypopnea.
4. In addition, other rhinitis diseases may also cause nasal hypopnea. Common types include enlarged nasal turbinates, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, sinusitis, etc. The symptoms, degree of harm, and treatment methods vary.
4、 A folk remedy for children with stuffy noses
1. Grind garlic into a nostril sized bulb, insert it into a part of the nostril, and wait for a moment.
2. Cover your mouth and nose with a small plastic bag, exhale gas, and inhale gas a few times.
3. Squeeze fresh orange peel into your nostrils and spray the juice into your nasal cavity. Your nose will quickly become ventilated.
4. Use four fingers (about six centimeters) to grow scallion white (the root of the scallion) and eat it raw.
5. There is another very effective method, which is to mix a cup of salt water with a slightly stronger concentration that you can handle. Take a sip and hold it in your mouth, then turn your head to let the water sit in your throat without swallowing. After a few seconds, spit it out. Repeat this process three times in a row and it's almost done.
6. Another way is to grind vitamin C into powder and then inhale a small amount into the nose, which will allow the nose to breathe.
7. You can put a fresh scallion strip into each nostril while sleeping, and take it out after 3 hours. It usually heals once. If it doesn't work, you can try again the next day. It is worth noting that first of all, scallion strips should be chosen thicker or thinner, as they have less medicinal power; Secondly, it is easy to inhale deep into the nasal cavity and difficult to remove; Secondly, if the patient's nasal cavity is allergic to fresh onions, a thin layer of medicinal cotton can be wrapped around the onion strips.
8. For a cold, if the nose is not ventilated, you can drop 0.5% -1% ephedrine saline solution (prepared by the hospital). Squeeze one drop on the inner side of the nose to make it slide into the nasal cavity, and drop 1-2 drops on each side. To prolong the duration of nasal ventilation after medication, a little eye ointment or facial oil can be applied to the nasal vestibule after nasal ventilation, which can alleviate the dry feeling after nasal ventilation. To reduce or prolong the reactive regulation of the sympathetic nervous system and prevent nasal ventilation.
9. Another recent method is to massage the nose bridge up and down with your hands until it feels warm, which can treat the problem of lack of ventilation.
10. Soak 100g of ginger in 45 degree hot water for 1.5 hours. Stop sweating. Try not to take medication.
