How to cure snot in babies in accessible and safe ways

Heavy breathing, sneezing, sucking breasts - all these signs are accompanied by a snot in the baby. A clogged spout does not allow the baby to fully breathe, which, naturally, affects feeding and sleeping. The kid is very ill and needs help urgently.

The main symptoms of the common cold in babies are similar to the symptoms that occur in an adult person. The same stuffy nasal sinuses, discharge from the spout and constant sneezing. As a rule, the cause of a severe cold (it also rhinitis) is an infection. But here it is important to know that snot in a newborn can be caused by other kinds of cold: neurovegetative, vasomotor or allergic.

Inflammation can occur on the background of a variety of infections in the respiratory tract.

An allergic variety of rhinitis is caused by some allergen.

Vasomotor runny nose becomes a consequence of a violation of the vegetative interrelation of blood vessels with the central nervous system.

To assign the right treatment, it is extremely important to establish in time the cause of rhinitis in the baby.

Unlike an adult cold, in infants this type of disease is somewhat different, especially in babies up to a year. The problem is that at this age the child can not yet independently release his nose from the accumulating mucus. In addition, the structure of the nose in the baby contributes to a more severe course of rhinitis.

Medical preparations

If snot appeared in the baby, doctors recommend using imunnomoduljator "Derinat" (Russian production), which is allowed to apply from the first days of life of newborns. The drug is released in the form of drops, which instill the baby's nose from two to four times a day. This drug is not only well tolerated, but also fights microbes that cause rhinitis.

It is very important not to give the slime accumulating in the nose, to dry out, this will cause the baby to start breathing the mouth, and this is the risk of a pneumonia or bronchitis.

The most common and affordable way to get rid of rhinitis is to wash the baby's nasal sinuses with saline solution (saline solution). Every thirty minutes you can drip three to four drops in the nose, without fear of an overdose. Also snot in newborns can be treated by rinsing with "Aquamaris" drops.

Drops that help to narrow the blood vessels, "Nazivin", can not be used for more than three days. You can use the drug "Laferon", digging into a nozzle on a pair of droplets two or three times a day. A popular drug "Delufen" can also be used twice a day, but only in a spray. The choice of the drug is best entrusted to the doctor (with the exception of saline solutions), which will recommend the optimal in one way or another means. What you should not do is to drip all the drugs in a row in the hope that this will help to cope with the disease more quickly.

Then strain through a folded several times gauze, to prevent the pulp from getting into the solution. To the smallest children, the juice is diluted 1 to 1 with breast milk, older children - with water (boiled). It is important to consider the next point. Bury the juice can be if the tip of the baby is not too swollen, so that it was possible not just to sneeze, but also to get rid of snot (which simply "fly out"). In case of blocked sinuses, first dip in a child's vasoconstrictor. The Kalanchoe juice helps to fight the cold more quickly, but in some cases it can lead to deterioration.
