A he althy person does not have snot. This is a well-known fact, confirmed by ENT doctors. The nasopharynx is designed in such a way that on its surface there is a mucous membrane that produces a secret. It is thanks to the mucus designed to perform protective functions that aerosols, foreign particles, bacteria and viruses do not penetrate the body of a he althy person.
Of course, this is an excellent protective shell, but from time to time there are situations due to which the mucous membrane ceases to perform the necessary functions. So, if it was damaged due to some kind of disease, discharge begins to come out of the nasal cavity, which are characterized by different density and color and directly depend on the type of disease. There are many reasons for your children to get a runny nose. It can even be caused by a normal walk in the fresh air in damp spring weather or during the winter season. Agree that even a slight hypothermia can cause a cold.
Also, if yourbabies like to scream outside in cold weather - this is the closest way to hypothermia of the respiratory tract, which in the first place will lead to a runny nose. If after the next walk you find that snot has appeared in children, remember about timely treatment. In no case do not postpone this process until later. Never forget that even the most common runny nose and white snot, if not treated in time, can lead to serious diseases, for example, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis or sinusitis.
What should be done to protect the child from a cold?
The very first thing you need to do is to pay attention to comfortable clothes and warm waterproof shoes. Make sure that your child does not sweat much during the walk. And if, upon arrival home, you find that the baby’s legs are wet, then you need to take action as soon as possible: before going to bed, give him milk and honey to drink and soak his feet in hot water. If you do these procedures on time, the child will not face any runny nose. Snot in children is a rather unpleasant phenomenon that brings concern to both the babies themselves and the mother. Therefore, so that they do not appear, it is necessary to constantly strengthen the child's immunity with the help of proper nutrition, which includes all the necessary products, namely meat, fish, fruits and vegetables.
