How to clean baby's nose
What to do if the baby still does not know how to blow his nose on his own, and it is vital to remove mucus from the nasal passages? Moms are ready for anything. There are cases when parents simply sucked snot from the baby's nose with their mouths. Doctors do not recommend doing this. Pathogenic microflora, located on the mucous membranes of the mouth of any, even a he althy person, can become an additional infection for a child weakened by rhinitis. Some of the parents try to remove mucus with a pharmacy douche. But its tip, even if it fits in size, can damage the nasal mucosa. The most optimal means can serve as an aspirator. With it, you can easily and fearlessly clean the baby's nose. The aspirator gained wide popularity among parents"Pigeon".
Rhinitis in babies
Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, often of an infectious nature. It starts due to exposure to bacteria or viruses. Less common is allergic and vasomotor (as a consequence of acute respiratory infections) rhinitis. In any case, a runny nose is characterized by the presence of discharge from the nose of the child. They can be watery, slimy, purulent, and even streaked with blood. The baby's nose is stuffed up, breathing is difficult. This interferes with normal sleep, causing anxiety. And no wonder, shortness of breath is the main cause of oxygen starvation of the brain.
In infants, rhinitis is often equated with a life-threatening condition. Newborns practically do not know how to breathe through their mouths. What can we say about feeding when the child has to eat and breathe at the same time?! Abundant regurgitation and even pneumonia can be the consequences of feeding a baby with a stuffy nose. "Pidgeon" - nasal aspirator - will help solve the problem of stuffy nose.
