Baby nasal congestion, don't use nose drops, towel hot compress can slow down the stuffy nose

With the arrival of winter, many children have a situation in which the nasal congestion is not ventilated. What should I do?

Nasal drops are not suitable for infants and young children

Zhang Silai, former director of the Department of Pediatrics, Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that infants and young children can not use nasal drops. Because Nasal Drop is a chemical synthetic drug, the main component is adrenergic, which is stronger than adrenaline. After the medicine is used to achieve the contraction of the turbinate, widening the nasal cavity, and improving the ventilation, it is a good therapeutic drug for adult nasal congestion, but it is not suitable for infants and young children.

Zhang Silai pointed out that the nervous system of infants and young children is not well developed, very sensitive to drugs, poor tolerance, delicate nasal mucosa, rich blood vessels, rapid and complete absorption of drugs, and soon after the drug enters the blood circulation, some children may appear one. Symptoms of the series are uncomfortable, such as pale, drowsiness, vomiting, and decreased body temperature. In severe cases, it can even cause coma in infants and young children. Failure to rescue can be life-threatening.

Hot towel can slow down the stuffy nose

For infants and young children due to cold caused by nasal congestion, Zhang Silai suggested that if the humidity in the house is relatively low, you can use a humidifier to increase the humidity inside the house (especially in the winter when the heating is used in the north, the climate is relatively dry). It can also be applied to the nose or forehead with a warm and damp towel to help relieve symptoms.

Parents can also drop a drop of normal saline in each nostril of the infant to help moisturize the nasal cavity to relieve nasal congestion. Saline can soften the dry nasal sinus in the nose, and then the parents gently squat down with a sterilized dry cotton swab. At present, pharmacies have physiological seawater sprays. Parents may wish to buy sprays for their children and help relieve nasal congestion. If the nasal congestion affects the child's sleep or breastfeeding, you can use 0.5% furosemide nasal drops in each nostril before the child eats milk or sleep, usually 4-6 hours apart, the dosage can not be large, twice medication The interval should not be too short, because ephedrine is also a vasoconstrictor, and too much use also has side effects.

In addition, if the child is very fluent, oral anti-allergic loratadine syrup or cetirizine drops can be taken orally to inhibit the body's secretion of histamine, and the salivation will be reduced. However, these two drugs, like all antihistamines, cause sleepiness, dry mouth, dry nose and dry skin, so try not to use it when it is not very serious.
