Nasal mucosal congestion in infants typically resolves within one week. In most cases, nasal mucosal congestion or epistaxis (nosebleeds) occur due to common colds or dry weather conditions. Generally, full recovery is expected within approximately one week. Patients are advised to maintain adequate indoor humidity to prevent excessive bodily dryness, which may otherwise predispose them to nosebleeds. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods should be minimized in daily diet.
