What should I do if my child has a stuffy or congested nose?
Disease description:
My child wore light clothing to school and caught a cold these past two days. His nose has become congested. I'd like to ask, what should I do for a child's nasal congestion?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Shuwen
If a child has nasal congestion and cannot smell anything, the following methods may help relieve the symptoms:
1. Use a clean towel soaked in warm water to apply a warm compress over the nose, which can effectively alleviate nasal congestion;
2. Clean the child's nasal cavity with saline solution to keep it clean and hygienic. This not only improves nasal congestion but also helps clear the nasal passage after sneezing.
