A baby’s hat is an ailment that is very easy to mistake for a runny nose. However, the symptoms are quite different. Despite a blocked nose, there is no discharge associated with inflammation of the nasal mucosa. A baby’s trap makes it difficult to take in air and the accompanying wheezing or snoring. What are the causes of baby piss? How to heal it?
Baby sock – symptoms
Common symptoms of baby’s sap include blocked nose, difficulty breathing, and proper airflow through the nostrils, and no nasal runny noticed. In addition, the baby becomes visibly tired during feeding. This is due to the fact that newborns and infants breathe almost exclusively through the nose with a frequency of nearly 30 (sometimes more) breaths per minute. Slightly older infants also breathe through the mouth, which in turn can lead to upper respiratory tract infections.
Baby sash and allergy
As a rule, a baby’s hat is not dangerous. It is not accompanied by inflammation within the nasal mucosa, nor is it a cause of infection in the upper respiratory tract. There are many reasons that can determine its occurrence. One of them is food allergy. However, it should be borne in mind that allergy is not the only basis for the development of baby sap. Most often, if an allergy is the cause of wheezing, it coexists with other symptoms, such as skin rashes or dyspeptic symptoms such as a hard tummy, frequent pouring down, or constant colic. A baby’s sock can also result from birth defects.
Baby sash – when does it get worse?
The symptoms of baby’s sap intensify especially during the heating season, when the air is dry and heavy. Symptoms usually disappear with regular airing of the rooms and in the summer.
Baby sash – how to treat it?
The appearance of a baby’s nappy does not have to immediately require a doctor’s appointment. Its symptoms can be reduced in several ways. First of all, you should remember about the proper hygiene of the nasal cavity. Regular cleansing of the nose will reduce the severity of unpleasant ailments associated with baby wheezing. Another way is to ventilate the rooms and the optimal temperature of the air in which the child is. It should not be too high, as then it may cause the nasal mucosa to swell and the resulting difficulty in breathing. Air humidification is also a good way – you can use wet towels and hang them on the radiator or buy special devices designed to increase air humidity. Remember, however, that too heavy and too humid air can also cause baby wheezing, as well as deepen it. Symptoms of ailments can be reduced by changing the baby’s feeding technique. A good way is therefore to increase the frequency of feeding and to reduce the portions each time.
In order to support the therapy of infantile wheezing, the child can be given nasal drops, which are designed to constrict the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa and facilitate the toddler’s breathing. However, remember not to use this type of preparation for more than 5 days, remember about the correct application (detailed instructions can be found on the drug packaging or on the leaflet). Popular preparations usually contain sympathomimetic drugs, such as, for example, oxymetazoline. As for the dosage of this type of drugs, it should be as follows: infants up to 1 month of age – 1 drop in each nostril 2-3 times a day; over 1 month of age up to 1 year – 1 to 2 drops in each nostril 2-3 times a day. Do not exceed the dosage, because drugs from this group can destroy the mucosa.
Baby hat – when should you go to the doctor with your baby?
If, despite all measures taken to eliminate the ailments, the baby’s snot persists, consider visiting a doctor. While generally harmless, an untreated baby sucker can aggravate the difficulty of breathing properly. This, in turn, may lead to the development of more serious respiratory diseases. Therefore, if an infant has attacks of breathlessness, its skin periodically turns blue and goes into apnea during sleep, a specialist consultation will be necessary. There may be a risk of upper respiratory tract infections or more serious changes in this region. However, these are very rare cases, as usually baby snot resolves on its own.
