What to do if your 7-month-old baby has a runny nose? Try these 4 ways to deal with your baby's runny nose

The baby's nasal mucosa is of very high quality. When it is attacked by various air particles or viruses and bacteria, it often has various discomforts, the most common of which are sneezing and runny nose. Especially for babies of 6 or 7 months old, their immune system is relatively weak, and it is easy to have this kind of situation when they are exposed to various stimuli. So, what should I do if my 7-month-old baby has a runny nose?

1. Drink plenty of water
The nasal cavity of a 7-month-old baby is relatively short, and the mucous membrane is very tender. The posterior nasal cavity is narrow and rich in blood vessels. Therefore, when the nasal cavity is stimulated by certain irritants, swelling and congestion will occur, causing the baby to have runny nose, blocked nose and other symptoms. At this time, giving the baby some water can alleviate various discomforts in the nose.

2. Increase the humidity of the air . If your baby has nasal discomfort, runny nose, or nasal congestion, you can put a humidifier in the room, or put a few basins of hot water. This will increase the humidity in the air due to evaporation, which can relieve runny nose and nasal congestion caused by excessive dryness of the respiratory tract or nose.
3. Drug treatment <br/>In fact, many reasons may cause the baby to have a runny nose, especially a cold. When the baby's runny nose is related to a cold, in addition to the above methods to relieve it, you can also give the baby some cold medicine that is effective in treating nasal congestion and runny nose. It is best to choose Chinese patent medicine with relatively fewer side effects, such as Ganmao Ling, Ganmao virus particles, etc., and the dosage of the medicine should also be strictly controlled according to the baby's age and weight, and it should not be taken in excess.

4. Wet towel compress
The nasal mucosa of a 7-month-old baby is still very fragile. When he has a runny nose, you can cover the nasal cavity with a warm towel. This can promote local blood circulation and help the rapid excretion of toxins. You can also apply some oil around the nasal cavity to prevent skin cracking and pain caused by a long-term runny nose.
