The child flows from the nose? Do not panic ahead of time, if the baby is not yet two and a half months old. At this age, a runny nose does not always talk about infection. Most likely, the body checks the mucous membrane of the nose, experiencing its work “at full power”. Pediatricians call this phenomenon a physiological runny nose. Of course, if discharge from the nose is accompanied by an increase in temperature, cough and shortness of breath, then you should think about a more serious reason. Even a runny nose associated with the beginning of the work of the mucous glands can cause the child inconvenience. In no case should you treat such a runny nose, otherwise any overdrying of the nose (blowing, washing or digging with drugs) will only lead to an increase in the discharge. To facilitate breathing, the child needs to maintain humidity in the room with air humidifiers or cups placed around the crib. You can moisten the nose with breast milk, digging it for five days with one or two droplets. The first sign of bacterial or viral infection is a change in the color and consistency of discharge from the nose. Infectious runny nose develops gradually, becoming stronger and more abundant, more and more preventing the child from falling asleep. Intensively moisturizing air in the nursery, as well as complex treatment of the disease will help a small nose. Abundant discharge is collected by rubber pear or syringe without a needle. To instill the nose, saline or calendula tincture are used. Herbal baths improve the baby’s breath, which must be taken for 20 minutes. It is not recommended to use vasoconstrictor drops, since they too much overdry the nose and cause increased a runny nose. Natural ointments for sinus sinuses and nasal wings will have a therapeutic effect during sleep.
