A child of 4 months transparent snot. Some notes on the treatment of snot in babies. Symptoms of a runny nose in the chest

We discussed with you the presence of a runny nose in young children, realized that there is a physiological runny nose, and decided on the tactics of non-drug therapy for clear or green snot. But we still have a few important questions left regarding snot and the fight against them. Let's continue the discussion.

white snot

Sometimes there are white snot with a runny nose, what can they talk about? Usually, such snot indicates the presence of an allergic component of the common cold, milk getting into the child's nose, or the development of fungal rhinitis, in the presence of oral candidiasis. Usually, fungal infections develop in the presence of a violation of the microflora of the oral cavity during antibiotic treatment, and treatment should be aimed at normalizing the flora and eliminating the fungus. In this case, it is worth visiting an ENT doctor and deciding with him on the nature of the infection, and choosing the optimal treatment. Without the advice of a doctor, it is only necessary to wash the nose and remove crusts and mucus from it.

Thick snot in babies

If a child older than two months has thick snot, this can no longer be considered a physiological runny nose, most likely these are manifestations of the disease. From about the age of three months, when the level of the body's immune defenses decreases, the likelihood of a child contracting acute viral infections as a result of contact with sick people increases. Influenza and severe viral infections are especially dangerous for babies. Therefore, in the cold season, when people get sick a lot and often, it is worth limiting the contacts of a small child with children and adults who have at least the slightest sign colds. If a person is "snotty", he should not contact the baby, it is likely that the baby will pick up a runny nose from him. Then there are abundant snot, cough or even fever. If any of your family members is ill with a cold, it must be isolated from the baby until the symptoms of the disease disappear completely. At this time, you need to often ventilate the room, if there is a quartz lamp - it should be turned on twice a day for half an hour and ventilated again after quartzing.

Snot in children after 4 months

If a child of the age of four or five months has snot - is it possible to say that teeth are climbing? Often during this period there are processes associated with the preparation for teething, special changes occur in the oral cavity and part of the nose. But it is impossible to say that the resulting snot is associated with early teething, since healthy children of 4-6 months of age can tolerate teething quite easily and without any symptoms. If during this period there is a temperature, a cough with a runny nose, this is a sign that the baby’s natural immunity and its capabilities are seriously limited, and then the snot will not go away on its own, even if the erupting teeth come out. When teething, in principle, there should be no disturbance of well-being and the effects of a cold, usually this occurs when a viral infection is layered on the teething. If a child during this period has snot for a week or more, this cannot be attributed to the teeth, it is necessary to identify the cause of the runny nose and treat it.

Breast milk and runny nose

Often you can hear recommendations about the treatment of the common cold breast milk, especially in very young children, but is it worth using such a miracle cure? The opinion of experts on this matter is divided - some experts recommend such a remedy, since milk contains immune bodies and special substances, immunoglobulins, many other protective factors and fats that moisturize the mucous membranes and help fight infection. Other experts say that breast milk is an excellent breeding ground for the development of microbes, and when using breast milk as drops in the nose, it is possible to provoke complications of the common cold, up to otitis media and complications. Therefore, this issue remains open, although breast milk is the most accessible means for washing and instilling the nose. And if there are also controversies for the treatment of a runny nose and instillation of breast milk, then in the favor of the breastfeeding kids no one doubts. If the baby is breastfeeding, it is easier and faster to tolerate infections, he is helped by the protective factors that milk contains. Therefore, to maintain and not only it, it is worth breastfeeding as long as possible.

Application of a nozzle pump

Many mothers have difficulty cleaning the baby's nose; modern manufacturers of children's products offer to use a nozzle pump for this procedure. This is a system of special tubes or devices with a flexible tip that allows you to remove mucus from the nose by creating negative pressure, similar to a vacuum cleaner. But nozzle pumps are far from harmless devices, although sometimes they help out parents very well. The older the baby becomes, the more difficult it becomes to care for his nasal cavity and eliminate mucus from it, and a runny nose in a child after the age of six months can be a problem. Rinsing the nose with saline solutions and instillation can be a whole problem for him. Children may actively resist such procedures, it can also be difficult to lie down calmly after the procedure. And if the snot is very thick and flows down the throat, then the child is completely uncomfortable. It is in such cases that manufacturers advise the use of nozzle pumps.

But you should be careful, using a nozzle pump is not as harmless as the manufacturers say. It must be borne in mind that even the softest or most flexible of the tips that are inserted into the baby's nose can injure his mucous membranes, and the process of suctioning the snot itself can be quite traumatic. Therefore, often moms who use snot pumps may complain that when the snot is removed from the nose, a little blood may appear. However, this problem is mainly associated with the manifestation of the common cold itself, and not with the procedure. In addition, active suction of snot under negative pressure can lead to the throwing of part of the mucus into the cavity of the auditory tube with the development of inflammation in the middle ear. How then to act? Of course, you should not leave viscous snot in the child's nose, but it is quite possible to clean the child's nose with cotton turundas with vaseline oil. This method is excellent for removing mucus from the nose at any age. It is important to remember that free nasal breathing is the key to quick treatment of the common cold.

Folk methods of treatment

Often parents are afraid to use medicines for the treatment of children, especially drugs with antibiotics, but at the same time they actively use drugs traditional medicine, which is incorrect. Not all folk remedies are good in treating the common cold in children. It is wrong to think that folk remedies in the treatment of snot are safer than drugs, it may be just the opposite. Often, various herbs and decoctions, plant juices can have a much more negative effect on a child's health than taking medication. This is especially true in the case of instillation of plant juices into the nose - aloe, kalanchoe, radish, etc. Such treatments cause swelling of the mucosa and lead to the formation of atrophic rhinitis. Of course, among traditional medicine there are also useful remedies - for example, inhalations over boiled potatoes, but you can’t treat babies like that, it is fraught with burns. And for children older than 3-4 years, it will be very useful.

Learn to blow your nose properly

Starting from about a year old, it is necessary to teach the baby to blow his nose correctly. This should be done during those periods when the child is not sick, but it will need to be done correctly, since it is possible that you yourself do not know how to blow your nose correctly. Let's learn together. First of all, you should not use reusable handkerchiefs for blowing your nose, this is a crowd and a concentrate of microbes and viruses. You need to blow out each nostril separately, in turn, covering the second nostril with your finger. In such cases, the mucus from the nose will flow out, and will not drain into the throat or will not penetrate into the area of ​​​​the air cavities and the ear canal. But, you can not blow your nose too hard, so as not to damage the delicate mucous membranes of the nose. Just gently blow the mucus with your nose into a handkerchief. You need to blow your nose often as soon as it accumulates in the nose and interferes with breathing. Therefore, watch the breath of the little one and often offer to blow your nose.

By the age of two or three years, children begin to suffer from snot more often, due to the expansion of contacts with the world and some physiological weakening of the immune system due to the disappearance of those transmitted from the mother and supplemented breastfeeding protective factors. You shouldn't worry about this. Most of the snot is immunity training and you can even deal with them with improvised means. But the best treatment is prevention.

Runny nose for an adult, as a rule, is a minor nuisance. Then how to snot for four month old baby- This serious problem, which can disrupt the usual daily routine. In addition, complications may develop as a result of the disease, or a runny nose will simply drag on as a result of a bacterial infection.

In a 4-month-old baby, snot can be caused by several reasons, according to which there are several types of runny nose:
  • viral or infectious, when the snot is the result of a virus or bacterial infection;
  • allergic reaction. In this case, not only snot flows from the nose, but tearing of the eyes is also observed. If you suspect an allergic rhinitis, you should definitely visit an allergist;
  • special types of rhinitis, characteristic of babies in the first months of life. These include physiological rhinitis.

In order to correctly determine the cause of a runny nose in a child, you should consult a doctor. Self-medication in this case can harm the health of the child and worsen his condition.

Snot in a 4-month-old baby can be caused not only by viruses, but also as a result of teething. This is especially observed during the eruption of the upper teeth. If the baby has a fever, a general deterioration in the condition, the baby often cries and is naughty - this is a reason to see a doctor.

Physiological rhinitis is also referred to special types of children's rhinitis. It is due to the narrow nasal passages of the newborn. With such discharge from the nose, the child does not experience an increase in temperature and a deterioration in the general condition. These types of rhinitis do not require special treatment, it is only necessary to maintain the humidity at the proper level.

Treatment of viral rhinitis

Babies quite often suffer from viral lesions of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. This is facilitated by the absence of a cartilaginous part of the nose in young children and narrow nasal passages. As a result, the purification and warming of the air occurs to a lesser extent than in an adult.

Edema and swelling of the mucous membrane are the initial stages of the development of the common cold. This stage lasts from several hours to two days. After that, a serous-mucous secret is intensively produced. It can get into the throat, thereby causing an inflammatory process there.

When the mucous membrane swells and snot is produced, it becomes difficult for the baby to breathe through the nose. Even if the child begins to breathe through his mouth, it is very difficult for him to do this during feeding. In this regard, the baby eats poorly and loses weight.

  1. Breastfeed your baby as often as possible if he is breastfeeding.
  2. if the baby is fed with a mixture, water should be given as often as possible;
  3. lack of drafts;
  4. baby's feet should be warm.

It has been proven that there are special reflex zones on the heels that have a direct connection with the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, with hypothermia of the legs, a runny nose may occur.

The following symptoms are the reason for an urgent visit to the doctor:

  1. wheezing in a child;
  2. Throat redness;
  3. Refusal of the baby from food, significant weight loss;
  4. The presence of bloody discharge from the nose;
  5. The baby's snot does not go away after a week;
  6. Decreased body temperature;
  7. High body temperature.

Cleansing and moisturizing the nose

To clean the child's nose from the accumulation of snot, you can use an aspirator. This is a small enema, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. This device can be made independently, using a syringe and removing the tip from it.

A nasal aspirator is sure to come in handy with a severe runny nose and a large accumulation of mucus in the baby's nose. Timely cleaning of the child's nose will help to avoid complications.

We should not forget about moisturizing the mucous membranes. For this, the usual saline solution. It is prepared at the rate of 1 tsp. sea ​​salt(can be replaced with regular cooking) for 1 tbsp. boiled water. It is necessary to instill one drop into each nostril several times a day. You can use drops based on sea water, for example, Aquamaris.

When using saline, use it as nasal drops. In no case should you wash your baby's nose with it. This can lead to ear infections.

Humidify the air in the room to prevent the mucus from drying out. For humidification, you can use a spray bottle, cups of water or a special device. The temperature in the room should not exceed 22 C.

The use of vasoconstrictor drops

At first glance, it may seem that the easiest way to treat a child is with the use of nasal drops. However, we should not forget that most drops are among the vasoconstrictors. They affect not only the vessels of the nasal passages, but also the entire body of the crumbs, which ultimately leads to side effects.

In addition, if you treat snot in a baby with the help of such drops long time, swelling of the mucosa does not decrease, but only increases. In this regard, vasoconstrictor drops should be used strictly according to the doctor's prescription, observing the dosage. It is necessary to use such funds for no more than a few days.

Before proceeding with the instillation of a drop, you should carefully read the instructions. For example,

  1. drops with naphazoline are contraindicated in children under one year old;
  2. preparations with xylometazoline should not be treated in children under two years of age.

Failure to follow the instructions may lead to a deterioration in the condition of the child. In case of an overdose of vasoconstrictor drops, the baby may experience a decrease in body temperature, drowsiness or lethargy. Thus, improper treatment of the common cold can lead to hospitalization.

Folk remedies for the common cold

One of the most common folk methods for treating a runny nose in a child is the instillation of breast milk. However, doctors do not recommend doing this for the reason that breast milk contains substances that contribute to the active reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

Among the traditional medicine, decoctions of yarrow or calendula are known, which can be prepared by heating 1 tsp in a water bath. dry herbs in a glass of water. The cooled broth can be instilled a few drops into each nasal passage.

Useful for breastfeeding bathing in a herbal bath. For this, sage, yarrow and calendula are suitable. To brew herbs, you can use a thermos, then pour the broth into a bath of warm water. For the procedure, you will need only 1-2 tablespoons of dry herbs. When using decoctions, you should pay attention to whether these herbs cause allergic reactions in a child.

A common treatment for the common cold in children is instillation of beetroot or carrot juice, previously diluted with water at the rate of 1 to 1. Olive oil can be used for dilution.

efficient folk remedy counted as dripping kalanchoe juice, aloe. The juice should be diluted with boiled water at the rate of 1 to 10. It is necessary to drip into each nostril several times a day.

As a disinfectant, arrange chopped cloves of garlic in the baby's room.

It will be useful to use eucalyptus essential oil. To do this, you can use an aroma lamp, you should dissolve a few drops of oil in water and place the heated lamp for half an hour in the baby's room so that he breathes in pairs.

Preventive measures

Breast milk is the main preventive measure. It allows you to strengthen the immunity of the child. Of course, this does not mean at all that the snot in a child who is on breastfeeding, will never appear. However, it will be much easier for the baby to resist colds.

It is necessary to dress a child, especially in the cold season, according to the weather. If the baby is too warm, he may sweat and catch a cold.

If relatives fall ill, their contact with the baby should be minimized. And during contact with the baby, use a medical bandage.

rinse anyway! This is the reaction of the mucosa to the air. do wet cleaning more often in the room where the baby sleeps, walk on fresh air. be sure to suck the mucus, although I know what kind of torture it is for the child and parents. the technique is this: first, drops of aquamaris or something like that, they will thin the mucus, then suck it off. then when it is relatively clean in the nose, nazivin. don't get carried away with the latter, as soon as the vial runs out, don't buy or drip any more. a week of snot is still not enough. we had three weeks, but it was like that in one day. morning and night for sure. and by the way, nasal drops from salt water by themselves do not cure a runny nose. they only help to clear the nasal mucosa and do not injure it.

Squeeze the juice from the leaves of Kalanchoe and drip into your nose. The child is resting and all the snot will come out. Then drip with interferon.

Nazivin 0.01% helped us a lot, it can be given to children from birth. Highly recommend.

But it would be better if you consult a doctor about this.

They also advise Kalanchoe juice, it causes sneezing and snot just “fly out” of the spout.

Since Nazivin did not help, go to the doctor definitely. Maybe it's allergic rhinitis. Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Nastenka

So, for starters, what color is the snot? if yellow or green, then go to the lore - this is already an infection !! !

and if it is transparent or white, then you can try to do it as follows: drip aquamaris, clean the nose with an aspirator, then drip nazivin or vibrocil (vibrocil helped my daughter better, and it doesn’t cause addiction, unlike nazivin) drop by drop into each nostril, wait 5-7 minutes and again clean the nose with an aspirator, then drip levomecithin eye drops into the nose or protagrol drop by drop. Do this all three times a day, no more than 5 days.

well, if you are for folk remedies, then aquamaris, clean with an aspirator and drip 2-3 drops of chamomile decoction.

It is very good to mix albucid with sofradex. Only it is necessary to drip immediately, mixed ones are not stored. Nazivin only for the night.

First, ask your peditor a question. in the meantime, do not have time - rinse with an aqualor for babies, or aquamaris every hour and four and try to understand what is the reason - a cold or an allergy. but such questions should be answered by a qualified doctor after examining the baby, and not by mail ru users. these are not toys.

A runny nose is a natural reaction of the body that helps the nasopharynx to cope with a virus or bacterium. But to help the baby so that the runny nose "does not bother much" is necessary.

1. Maintaining moisture in the nose, when it is necessary to prevent the mucosa from drying out, is considered the main task! At home, cool air is desirable (at temperatures above 22 degrees, mucus dries quickly) and high humidity. Use a humidifier. Or start an aquarium. Or just arrange cups of water. In addition, it is good to breathe rich and humid air in the bathroom. Go there every half an hour, breathe for 5-10 minutes, let the nozzles liquefy and pour out, then wash the child. You can add a drop of lemon lavender oil to the water.

2. It would be good to provide a comprehensive treatment, because the common cold usually goes along with other catarrhal phenomena.

3. Therapeutic baths. Herbs: calendula, birch leaf, yarrow, sage. In equal parts. 50 gr. Herbs for a big bath, 25 for a baby bath. 2 hours insist in a thermos. Water temperature not less than Bath for at least 20 min. At least 5 days.

1. The simplest remedy is saline. Although every hour half a pipette in each nostril, it is impossible to overdose. You can make a kind of saline solution yourself: for one liter of boiled water, add one teaspoon of salt, to be more precise, then 9 grams. Salt can be replaced with sea salt, but only without additives, food is better. Attention! saline is used only! for "dripping" into the nose, and not for washing the nasopharynx. In no case should you rinse the nose of a child with a small pear or enema. In children, fluid from the nose passes very easily into the Eustachian tube, which connects the nose and ear. This can cause inflammation in the middle ear (otitis media). But if you DRIP saline, nothing like this will happen.

2. In the same way as physical. solution, you can instill an infusion of herbs. Calendula, yarrow. 1 tsp collection or mixture for 1 cup boiling water and 20 minutes in a water bath. Cool down. Instill half a pipette into each nostril several times a day.

3. Liquefy the snot using the above methods and remove the excess only from the outside. Suck out excess pear from the nose just before bedtime, if they interfere with breathing. Attention! In a child with a runny nose, mucus should not be sucked out of the nose. After all, on the contrary, we need to make the nose even more wet with a runny nose! Nozzles are a protection for the poor, small, strained and irritated nasal mucosa. In addition, intensive suction leads to even more swelling, which, as you understand, leads to a vicious circle.

4. Moisturizing the mucosa. If the runny nose is liquid, then the inside of the nose does not need to be lubricated, the mucous membrane is already moistened. If it does not flow, then it is good to lubricate the mucous membrane so that it does not dry out. For example peach oil or Vitaon. It is to lubricate with a turunda, and not to bury, in addition to all of the above activities

I write this as I do, but I think that I definitely need consultation of a specialist do not risk the health of the baby because each child is individual.

This is with regard to general prevention, and with a cough, I would fight with ointments. Doctor MOM or something similar will do. Spread the baby, it will warm the lungs and prevent severe inflammation, but read the instructions - I don’t remember at what age! As far as I remember, my runny nose was treated by Xymelin for children 0.05%. Does not burn, does not irritate and does not dry. Drip any baby drops, but not menthol, pinosol or other filth!

Do not bathe the child, I once treated bronchitis for 2 weeks, the doctors said that it is unacceptable to wash! Only causal places. So for now, forget about baths. See that it was wrapped up and there were no drafts. Good luck!

The doctor recommended Viferon candles to us. Another rinsed nose sea ​​water French in ampoules (I don’t remember the name). And you can be allergic to honey, you can’t give anything like that yourself. It is necessary to call a doctor - listen to the child's breathing and throat. Do not be ill.

Marina, he also told us so, only not even with aquamaris, but simply with saline. but before cleaning, for several minutes, on his recommendation, vasoconstrictor drops (nazivin up to a year) were dripping. I can’t say that this fundamentally helps in the treatment, but rinsing is easier and less frequent. Vooot. good luck, don't worry.

Nadezhda Trubnikova

Elementary. Soak with breast milk cotton pad, drip your nose to the level so that you can swallow, then take the smallest syringe (at the pharmacy), close one nostril with your finger and suck the snot out of the nose with a syringe. The milk will help loosen up their sinuses and make them come out more easily. Then lubricate with oxolinic ointment not greasy. Repeat the procedure according to the situation. Check it out in a couple of days. Yes, and still chop the onion in a plate and put it by the crib. Be healthy.

TATARKA

Breast milk (you can have an eye in the nose and in the ear), and if you are skilled, then protorgol!

***** Lenuska

Aquamaris has the same goal, to make the snot less thick, and then, buy Otrivin Baby (with 3 nozzles) at the pharmacy and suck the snot (like a vacuum cleaner). The transparent tip will show what came out. Nazivin for babies is also good, but not more than 2 times a day. It constricts blood vessels, relieves swelling of the noic mucosa, so the snot comes out better and the baby breathes easier (swelling is removed).

And milk in the nose. -before, yes (grandmother's method, when there was nothing else) Moreover, it is sterile in itself, but viruses and bacteria that can be on the mucous membrane of the nose love milk very much and will diligently feed and multiply.

Make the air in the child's room more humid, dry mucous dries out from dry (that's why the doctor prescribed aquamaris). Get well!

Evgeniya Arzamastseva

nasal drops AQUA MARIS (for children) we only save ourselves with these drops. saline based

Snezhana Stochevan

Our pediatricians do not allow us to suck out the snot with anything, since a vacuum is created, the pressure inside increases, which can break something. It is better to soak well and let it flow down the throat and swallow. It is good to drip albucid to dry the nose, rinse the nose with oak bark (it also dries a little) ..

And so - 1.2 drops of aquamaris in the nose and remove the mucus with an aspirator in a minute. Nazivin can be dripped only when the nose does not breathe at all and no longer than 3 days.

The aspirator is the most convenient (in my opinion) Otrivin, sold in a pharmacy

Do not self-medicate. Contact your doctor. The nozzles can be removed with a pipette and the nose should be instilled with special drops (for a certain age).

So, at first we treated ourselves for a week, then we went to Laura, she prescribed vibrocil (one drop in each nostril) three times a day, but in practice, of course, I dripped more often, knowing that it was harmful, but how else to sleep 2- X month old baby if the nose does not breathe? viferon suppositories, in the morning and in the evening, so as not to get sick, and we were also prescribed UVI, in short, it didn’t help us, as a result, the runny nose went away, only from antibiotics ((((((((Of course, antibiotics are an extreme case

This is the reaction of the mucosa to the air. do wet cleaning more often in the room where the baby sleeps, walk in the fresh air. be sure to suck the mucus, although I know what kind of torture it is for the child and parents. the technique is this: first, drops of aquamaris or something like that, they will thin the mucus, then suck it off. then when it is relatively clean in the nose, nazivin. don't get carried away with the latter, as soon as the vial runs out, don't buy or drip any more. a week of snot is still not enough. we had three weeks, but it was like that in one day. morning and night for sure. and by the way, nasal drops from salt water by themselves do not cure a runny nose. they only help to clear the nasal mucosa and do not injure it.

Squeeze the juice from the leaves of Kalanchoe and drip into your nose. The child is resting and all the snot will come out. Then drip with interferon.

gripferon, at night if nazivin does not breathe. (removes congestion). protargol dries snot.

Nazivin 0.01% helped us a lot, it can be given to children from birth. Highly recommend.

But it would be better if you consult a doctor about this.

They also advise Kalanchoe juice, it causes sneezing and snot just “fly out” of the spout.

Since Nazivin did not help, go to the doctor definitely. Maybe it's allergic rhinitis. Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Olga Sokolova

we washed with a decoction of St. John's wort, and sodium sulfacyl (albucid) dripped

Brown Fox

looks like severe rhinitis

salt water is not treated and the nose is washed, it is better to do it at home, and instead of a bunch of drops, buy expensive children's vasoconstrictors that are not addictive

Nastenka

So, for starters, what color is the snot? if yellow or green, then go to the lore - this is already an infection !! !

and if it is transparent or white, then you can try to do it as follows: drip aquamaris, clean the nose with an aspirator, then drip nazivin or vibrocil (vibrocil helped my daughter better, and it doesn’t cause addiction, unlike nazivin) drop by drop into each nostril, wait 5-7 minutes and again clean the nose with an aspirator, then drip levomecithin eye drops into the nose or protagrol drop by drop. Do this all three times a day, no more than 5 days.

well, if you are for folk remedies, then aquamaris, clean with an aspirator and drip 2-3 drops of chamomile decoction.

It is very good to mix albucid with sofradex. Only it is necessary to drip immediately, mixed ones are not stored. Nazivin only for the night.

First, ask your peditor a question. in the meantime, do not have time - rinse with an aqualor for babies, or aquamaris every hour and four and try to understand what is the reason - a cold or an allergy. but such questions should be answered by a qualified doctor after examining the baby, and not by mail ru users. these are not toys.

A runny nose is a natural reaction of the body that helps the nasopharynx to cope with a virus or bacterium. But to help the baby so that the runny nose "does not bother much" is necessary.

1. Maintaining moisture in the nose, when it is necessary to prevent the mucosa from drying out, is considered the main task! At home, cool air is desirable (at temperatures above 22 degrees, mucus dries quickly) and high humidity. Use a humidifier. Or start an aquarium. Or just arrange cups of water. In addition, it is good to breathe rich and humid air in the bathroom. Go there every half an hour, breathe for 5-10 minutes, let the nozzles liquefy and pour out, then wash the child. You can add a drop of lemon lavender oil to the water.

2. It would be good to provide a comprehensive treatment, because the common cold usually goes along with other catarrhal phenomena.

3. Therapeutic baths. Herbs: calendula, birch leaf, yarrow, sage. In equal parts. 50 gr. Herbs for a big bath, 25 for a baby bath. 2 hours insist in a thermos. Water temperature not less than Bath for at least 20 min. At least 5 days.

1. The simplest remedy is saline. Although every hour half a pipette in each nostril, it is impossible to overdose. You can make a kind of saline solution yourself: for one liter of boiled water, add one teaspoon of salt, to be more precise, then 9 grams. Salt can be replaced with sea salt, but only without additives, food is better. Attention! saline is used only! for "dripping" into the nose, and not for washing the nasopharynx. In no case should you rinse the nose of a child with a small pear or enema. In children, fluid from the nose passes very easily into the Eustachian tube, which connects the nose and ear. This can cause inflammation in the middle ear (otitis media). But if you DRIP saline, nothing like this will happen.

2. In the same way as physical. solution, you can instill an infusion of herbs. Calendula, yarrow. 1 tsp collection or mixture for 1 cup boiling water and 20 minutes in a water bath. Cool down. Instill half a pipette into each nostril several times a day.

3. Liquefy the snot using the above methods and remove the excess only from the outside. Suck out excess pear from the nose just before bedtime, if they interfere with breathing. Attention! In a child with a runny nose, mucus should not be sucked out of the nose. After all, on the contrary, we need to make the nose even more wet with a runny nose! Nozzles are a protection for the poor, small, strained and irritated nasal mucosa. In addition, intensive suction leads to even more swelling, which, as you understand, leads to a vicious circle.

4. Moisturizing the mucosa. If the runny nose is liquid, then the inside of the nose does not need to be lubricated, the mucous membrane is already moistened. If it does not flow, then it is good to lubricate the mucous membrane so that it does not dry out. For example peach oil or Vitaon. It is to lubricate with a turunda, and not to bury, in addition to all of the above activities

I write this as I do, but I think that I definitely need consultation of a specialist do not risk the health of the baby because each child is individual.

Marina, he also told us so, only not even with aquamaris, but simply with saline. but before cleaning, for several minutes, on his recommendation, vasoconstrictor drops (nazivin up to a year) were dripping. I can’t say that this fundamentally helps in the treatment, but rinsing is easier and less frequent. Vooot. good luck, don't worry.

Nadezhda Trubnikova

Elementary. Wet a cotton pad with breast milk, drop your nose to the level so that you can swallow, then take the smallest syringe (in a pharmacy), close one nostril with your finger and suck the snot out of the nose with a syringe. The milk will help loosen up their sinuses and make them come out more easily. Then lubricate with oxolinic ointment not greasy. Repeat the procedure according to the situation. Check it out in a couple of days. Yes, and still chop the onion in a plate and put it by the crib. Be healthy.

TATARKA

Breast milk (you can have an eye in the nose and in the ear), and if you are skilled, then protorgol!

***** Lenuska

Aquamaris has the same goal, to make the snot less thick, and then, buy Otrivin Baby (with 3 nozzles) at the pharmacy and suck the snot (like a vacuum cleaner). The transparent tip will show what came out. Nazivin for babies is also good, but not more than 2 times a day. It constricts blood vessels, relieves swelling of the noic mucosa, so the snot comes out better and the baby breathes easier (swelling is removed).

And milk in the nose. -before, yes (grandmother's method, when there was nothing else) Moreover, it is sterile in itself, but viruses and bacteria that can be on the mucous membrane of the nose love milk very much and will diligently feed and multiply.

Make the air in the child's room more humid, dry mucous dries out from dry (that's why the doctor prescribed aquamaris). Get well!

Evgeniya Arzamastseva

nasal drops AQUA MARIS (for children) we only save ourselves with these drops. saline based

Snezhana Stochevan

Our pediatricians do not allow us to suck out the snot with anything, since a vacuum is created, the pressure inside increases, which can break something. It is better to soak well and let it flow down the throat and swallow. It is good to drip albucid to dry the nose, rinse the nose with oak bark (it also dries a little) ..

We treat snot in a 4 month old baby

Runny nose for an adult, as a rule, is a minor nuisance. Whereas snot for a four-month-old baby is a serious problem that can disrupt the usual daily routine. In addition, complications may develop as a result of the disease, or a runny nose will simply drag on as a result of a bacterial infection.

What is a runny nose in a baby

Snot in a 4-month-old baby can be caused not only by viruses, but also as a result of teething. This is especially observed during the eruption of the upper teeth. If the baby has a fever, a general deterioration in the condition, the baby often cries and is naughty - this is a reason to see a doctor.

Physiological rhinitis is also referred to special types of children's rhinitis. It is due to the narrow nasal passages of the newborn. With such discharge from the nose, the child does not experience an increase in temperature and a deterioration in the general condition. These types of rhinitis do not require special treatment, it is only necessary to maintain the humidity at the proper level.

Treatment of viral rhinitis

Babies quite often suffer from viral lesions of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. This is facilitated by the absence of a cartilaginous part of the nose in young children and narrow nasal passages. As a result, the purification and warming of the air occurs to a lesser extent than in an adult.

Edema and swelling of the mucous membrane are the initial stages of the development of the common cold. This stage lasts from several hours to two days. After that, a serous-mucous secret is intensively produced. It can get into the throat, thereby causing an inflammatory process there.

When the mucous membrane swells and snot is produced, it becomes difficult for the baby to breathe through the nose. Even if the child begins to breathe through his mouth, it is very difficult for him to do this during feeding. In this regard, the baby eats poorly and loses weight.

  • Breastfeed your baby as often as possible if he is breastfeeding.
  • if the baby is fed with a mixture, water should be given as often as possible;
  • lack of drafts;
  • baby's feet should be warm.

It has been proven that there are special reflex zones on the heels that have a direct connection with the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, with hypothermia of the legs, a runny nose may occur.

The following symptoms are the reason for an urgent visit to the doctor:

  • wheezing in a child;
  • Throat redness;
  • Refusal of the baby from food, significant weight loss;
  • The presence of bloody discharge from the nose;
  • The baby's snot does not go away after a week;
  • Decreased body temperature;
  • High body temperature.

Cleansing and moisturizing the nose

To clean the child's nose from the accumulation of snot, you can use an aspirator. This is a small enema, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. This device can be made independently, using a syringe and removing the tip from it.

We should not forget about moisturizing the mucous membranes. For this, ordinary saline solution is suitable. It is prepared at the rate of 1 tsp. sea ​​salt (can be replaced with regular table salt) to 1 tbsp. boiled water. It is necessary to instill one drop into each nostril several times a day. You can use drops based on sea water, for example, Aquamaris.

When using saline, use it as nasal drops. In no case should you wash your baby's nose with it. This can lead to ear infections.

Humidify the air in the room to prevent the mucus from drying out. For humidification, you can use a spray bottle, cups of water or a special device. The temperature in the room should not exceed 22 C.

The use of vasoconstrictor drops

At first glance, it may seem that the easiest way to treat a child is with the use of nasal drops. However, we should not forget that most drops are among the vasoconstrictors. They affect not only the vessels of the nasal passages, but also the entire body of the crumbs, which ultimately leads to side effects.

Before proceeding with the instillation of a drop, you should carefully read the instructions. For example, drops with naphazoline are contraindicated in children under one year old. And preparations with xylometazoline cannot be treated in children under two years of age. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to a deterioration in the condition of the child. In case of an overdose of vasoconstrictor drops, the baby may experience a decrease in body temperature, drowsiness or lethargy. Thus, improper treatment of the common cold can lead to hospitalization.

Folk remedies for the common cold

One of the most common folk methods for treating a runny nose in a child is the instillation of breast milk. However, doctors do not recommend doing this for the reason that breast milk contains substances that contribute to the active reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

Among the traditional medicine, decoctions of yarrow or calendula are known, which can be prepared by heating 1 tsp in a water bath. dry herbs in a glass of water. The cooled broth can be instilled a few drops into each nasal passage.

Bathing in a bath with herbs will be useful for babies. For this, sage, yarrow and calendula are suitable. To brew herbs, you can use a thermos, then pour the broth into a bath of warm water. For the procedure, you will need only 1-2 tablespoons of dry herbs. When using decoctions, you should pay attention to whether these herbs cause allergic reactions in a child.

A common remedy for a runny nose in children is the instillation of beet or carrot juice, previously diluted with water at a rate of 1 to 1. Olive oil can be used to dilute.

An effective folk remedy is the instillation of Kalanchoe juice, aloe. The juice should be diluted with boiled water at the rate of 1 to 10. It is necessary to drip into each nostril several times a day.

As a disinfectant, you can lay out chopped cloves of garlic in the baby's room.

The use of eucalyptus essential oil will be useful. To do this, you can use an aroma lamp, you should dissolve a few drops of oil in water and place the heated lamp for half an hour in the baby's room so that he breathes in pairs.

Preventive measures

Breast milk is the main preventive measure. It allows you to strengthen the immunity of the child. Of course, this does not mean at all that snot will never appear in a breastfed child. However, it will be much easier for the baby to resist colds.

It is necessary to dress a child, especially in the cold season, according to the weather. If the baby is too warm, he may sweat and catch a cold.

If relatives fall ill, their contact with the baby should be minimized. And during contact with the baby, use a medical bandage.

How to treat snot in a child of 4 months - safe medicines, folk remedies

Unfortunately, a runny nose is a guest even in the smallest patients, despite the fact that they practically do not have contact with other children, and adults try to follow the rules of hygiene when handling babies. Often the cause of a runny nose is hypothermia, viruses and drafts.

Parents do not always rush to the children's clinic and try to "defeat" the child's snot with home methods. In any case, a runny nose should be treated, regardless of the presence or absence of other symptoms.

Is it necessary to contact a pediatrician?

Undoubtedly, the treatment process must be entrusted to the pediatrician. Snot in a child of 4 months can flow quite quickly, and after a week it will completely disappear. Many parents, especially when the child's body temperature is normal, do not treat a runny nose, believing that this is a waste of time.

Still, this is the wrong approach. The child experiences discomfort, discomfort in the nose, headache. Nasal congestion often provokes the development of otitis media. Above upper lip there is irritation from flowing secretions. The baby becomes whiny, refuses to breastfeed, sleeps poorly at night.

Is such a state of the child can suit the parents? Of course not! Then the child needs help. The main thing is to exclude the possibility of complications: otitis media, tracheitis, bronchitis, as well as eliminate all existing symptoms. For the treatment to be effective and not harm the health of the baby, seek the advice of a pediatrician.

Ask the doctor as many questions as possible so that after he leaves you have no doubts about the treatment of the child.

Important! Never resort to pharmacists who sell "baby drops" for help. All pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of snot in infants for 4 months are selected only by a pediatrician.

Treatment of snot in a child of 4 months

If a runny nose is accompanied by a temperature, you can not bathe and walk with the child. In the absence of temperature, the walking regimen should be reduced - it will be enough to go outside and two baths a week.

Continue to breastfeed your baby without restriction. When the baby refuses to breastfeed, do not feed him, the baby may be thirsty. During the period of snot, give the child boiled water more often, especially when the body temperature is elevated. If the child has already tried compotes and juices, then they will be useful in the viral origin of the common cold.

For the treatment of snot in infants, antiviral, antiseptic, moisturizing and vasoconstrictive drugs are used. For infants, nasal drops are most often used.

Antiviral drops (interferon, fluferon) are recommended for immunocompromised children. When a baby has yellow, green, cloudy snot, antiseptic drops are indicated: sodium sulfacyl, protargol.

Antiseptic drugs are prescribed only by a doctor, as they tend to dry out the mucous membrane and even cause burns. If there is subfebrile condition against the background of a runny nose (body temperature is 37–37.5 degrees), it is not necessary to take antipyretics. When the temperature exceeds 38 degrees - give the child panadol, children's nurofen or efferalgan.

To moisturize the nasal mucosa and thin the thick discharge in infants, use saline or products based on sterile sea water. These drugs can be used independently, an overdose does not pose a danger. They are completely safe for the baby.

A 4-month-old baby is washed with a nose every 2-3 hours. It is enough to instill 4 drops in each nasal passage. Moisturizing drops are always used before instillation of antiseptics, vasoconstrictor and antiviral drops (for 5 minutes).

The child's nose will be cleared of accumulated mucus, and the drug will already act directly on the nasal mucosa. Moisturizers include: salin, aquamaris, otrivin baby, 0.9% NaCl solution and others.

Sometimes you can not do without vasoconstrictor drops. They perfectly facilitate nasal breathing, dry the mucous membrane, relieve swelling. For all infants, the dose and mode of instillation are prescribed only by a children's ENT or pediatrician.

Usually, the instillation regimen does not exceed three times a day, and the duration of use is 3-5 days. Parents should always remember that vasoconstrictor drops are potent drugs and can cause serious side effects, up to seizures.

For children 4 months old, in the treatment of snot, the following vasoconstrictor drops can be used: baby nazol and 0.01% baby nazivin.

If the snot in a child of four months has a green tint, then treatment should be taken seriously. We wrote more about this in the article [treatment of green snot in infants].

For the treatment and prevention of the common cold, tonsillitis, acute respiratory viral infections and influenza in children and adults, Elena Malysheva recommends the effective drug Immunity from Russian scientists. Due to its unique, and most importantly 100% natural composition, the drug is extremely effective in the treatment of sore throats, colds and strengthening immunity.

Home remedies for runny nose in babies 4 months old

Some mothers use breast milk to treat a runny nose. The opinions of pediatricians on this matter are divided. Some believe that breast milk contains many protective substances, while others argue that such treatment can be harmful by increasing the inflammatory process.

Carrot juice is considered a popular remedy for treating a runny nose in babies. It relieves inflammation and swelling of the mucosa, fights viruses, causes easy sneezing, due to which the child's nose is cleared. Squeeze the juice from grated carrots through cheesecloth and drop a drop into each nasal passage for the baby. This treatment is used three times a day.

You can use aloe juice for instillation of the spout. It should be diluted with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 1 so as not to provoke an allergy in the baby. Bury in the nose drop by drop three times a day.

Nasal aspirators for removing snot in babies less than a year old

Babies do not know how to free their nose from mucus on their own, so modern medicine has developed a device for cleaning the nasal passages - a nasal aspirator. With it, parents can clean the nose of their babies.

When buying an aspirator, do not forget to take the instructions, or even better, have a pharmacist or product representative show you how to use the device.

Before using the aspirator to start removing mucus from the child's nasal cavity, drip a solution to thin the mucus. For this purpose, use moisturizing drops.

In the absence of an aspirator, a regular syringe (small size) with a soft tip is dispensed with.

This type of treatment for babies is not entirely suitable. The child cannot yet be forced to breathe properly, and essential oils, as well as plants can cause an allergic reaction, bronchial obstruction and laryngospasm. Even for older children, inhalations are prescribed only when a cough is added. As a rule, one runny nose is not treated with inhalations.

Prevention of the common cold in infants

A good prevention of colds and viral diseases in babies is frequent airing of the premises, wet cleaning, the use of humidifiers, and the use of cold inhalations. In the room where the child is, place a saucer with chopped onions or garlic. Healing phytoncides will protect the baby from infections.

During epidemics, or when there are sick children and adults in the house, the pediatrician may prescribe a prophylactic intake of influenza.

In order for the treatment of snot in a child of 4 months to be effective and safe, use the advice of a pediatrician, even if, in your opinion, nothing terrible is happening to the child. Trust the experience and knowledge of a pediatric specialist. Do not be ill!

How to treat a runny nose in a baby at 4 months

And some secrets.

If you or your child gets sick often and is treated with antibiotics alone, know that you are only treating the effect, not the cause.

So you just “drain” money to pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies and get sick more often.

STOP! Enough to feed someone you don't know. You just need to boost your immunity and you will forget what it is to get sick!

Drip breast milk. .
here are some expert advice. .

A runny nose, or, scientifically, rhinitis is one of the most common conditions that accompanies all colds and many other processes. A runny nose in an infant can be the initial stage of three different pathological processes. Most often, rhinitis is caused by an infection - viral or bacterial, as well as allergies of various origins. In very young children, rhinitis can also accompany an intestinal infection, and instead of the usual symptoms of a cold following a runny nose, we will see the phenomena of nausea, vomiting and loose stools characteristic of intestinal damage.
The difference in the course of rhinitis in infants lies in the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the infant. The nasal passages of the newborn and infant are narrow and short, located at a different angle than in adults, so the local process of swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa quickly passes to the pharyngeal mucosa and below, leading to the development of pharyngitis, and sometimes laryngitis, and even tracheitis. Therefore, a runny nose in an infant is often aggravated by sore throat, voice change and cough. In addition, since the child receives food by sucking, and this requires creating a vacuum in the nasopharynx, a stuffy nose leads to difficulty and even the inability to eat normally. Often, rhinitis is aggravated in infants by a violation of the general condition and high fever.
In order to clear the nose and restore normal nasal breathing, and with it sucking, the baby needs to clear the nose. Children do not know how to blow their nose on their own. This can be done with a cotton swab in the presence of crusts and thick sputum, and with a small rubber pear with a liquid discharge. Beforehand, warm sea water, or just clean water, can be dripped into the baby’s nose to make the separation of mucus easier. There are special children's solutions for washing the nose.
A runny nose in a chest child often passes to the middle ear along the wide Eustachian tube - you also need to know this. The tendency to mucosal edema in infants is increased, because nasal congestion occurs quickly - it is she who most affects sucking, therefore it must be fought. In addition to a cold - a viral or bacterial factor - an allergy can be the cause of nasal congestion and discharge from it. In this case, the allergen is not important - for infants it is more often food or household allergens - dust, animal hair, etc. To relieve congestion, vasoconstrictor drops are used, always in a children's dosage. The most common and approved for use even for newborns are Nazivin drops in a 0.01% concentration. Before they drip into the nose, it must be thoroughly cleaned or rinsed.
These are the features of the course of rhinitis in infants.

First you need to find out the cause of the common cold. Maybe it's not a cold, but an allergy. Therefore, the treatment will be different.

Elina M.

they said just clean your nose more often and dress warmer

Nicoletta

dripped with Derinat, but this is most likely prevention, they need to drip up to 2 months to achieve the effect.
If you just get sick, then you can drip your nose with interferon. It is diluted with warm boiled water. You can drip every hour. It is effective if treatment is started in the first three days of illness.
You also need to clean the baby's nose so that he can breathe. We were prescribed otrivin baby

zaichka

we treated with Nazivin and washed with Aqua Maris

Laura Petrarkina:)

Are you sure that the crumbs do not have allergic rhinitis?
Then try one of the following.
Collargol, Protargol - drops based on colloidal silver, they are prepared in a pharmacy (there are in state pharmacies, do not buy in kiosks).
A solution of sea salt - choose a concentration such that there is a slightly salty taste. This is the same as Aquamaris. Salt is sold in pharmacies and supermarkets, but just do not buy flavored.
Vibrocil - vasoconstrictor drops (drip at night to make breathing easier).
Salin, nizivin (we haven't tried it).
Pinosol - oil-based drops, penetrate well, can be used several times a day.
At night, I hang a napkin in the crib, drip a few drops of aroma oil (fir, eucalyptus, tea tree) on it. It turns out an "aroma lamp", the air around the baby is cleared, it is easier to breathe.
You can hang a gauze bag with chopped onion or garlic in the crib.
Be sure to do wet cleaning and ventilate the baby's room.
A sleepy child can be placed in the nose (gently, rubbed on the inside of the nostrils) A mixture of Oxolin-ointment + Pinosol-cream. This helps in cases where the child is naughty and does not allow the nose to drip, otherwise the baby's psyche does not suffer.
Bioparox - antibiotic spray (if it's really bad).
Get well!

What are you treating?
buy a spray Aquamaris, then a vasoconstrictor (Nazivin, Xymelin - change after 3-5 days, otherwise there will be a reverse effect and swelling of the nose may be) and then buy Euphorbium compositum (this is a homeopathic remedy, but very effective)
Good luck.
If they dripped with Nazivin and there is no other vasoconstrictor, then immediately drip with Euform !!!

Usually, when breastfeeding, a mother drops her milk into her nose. It turns out that the child eats through the mouth and through the nose at the same time.

Freshly squeezed beetroot juice. (drip 2-3 drops) - dries.

Olga Ivanova (Ladonya)

try, freshly squeezed beetroot juice + water (in its pure form it burns a little), put a drop in the spout, repeat after a couple of hours. we were left without snots in two receptions.

Maria Chernitsa

To begin with, find out the cause of the common cold. Maybe he's allergic to something. Especially since it takes so long to heal. Create a moist environment for the spout. i.e. wash it. For example, aquamarine.

Irina Folomeeva

If you are breastfeeding, then try to drip breast milk into your baby's nose. Buy a small syringe with a soft tip from the pharmacy and suck the mucus out of the spout. There is also a good prophylactic Derinat - these are oil drops based on extracts from shark fins. They are sold in pharmacies. Never warm your child's nose. Babies have a fast metabolism and you can inadvertently heat abscesses. Ask your doctor to write a prescription for compound drops and make them in the prescription department of the pharmacy. I wish you health!

-Manticore-

Buy a humidifier. Drip aquamarine. Kolanchoe juice or aloe, sea buckthorn oil.
Medicines do not help, only worse from them.

You know this, if you treat a runny nose, it will pass in 7 days, if not treated, then in a week.

First you need to clean the nose, I have an Otrivin-Baby aspirator. I didn’t buy it right away, I resisted, but after trying it, I realized that Vesch!
Then I drip either Nazivin or there are still droplets with silver in Artlife and Argo, such as protargol, but with a long shelf life.
I am for folk methods and herbal treatment if possible, but drip oil into the nose, and even socks with urine ... for me it's overkill))))

It is necessary to clean the nose (it’s bad with a pear, it’s better with Otrivin), you can instill normal saline solution drop by drop into each nostril, and there are Vibrocil drops for small ones, they also advise breast milk (but I still didn’t dare).

Well, you certainly don’t need to drip milk into your nose, arrange a breeding ground for bacteria.
Drip your nose with aquamaris or saline more often, at least every hour. To pull out snot either with cotton turundas, or better with an aspirator - you can use a pear, but I like the Otrivin aspirator, it is much more convenient.
You can drip nazivin or nasoferon 2 times a day.

Runny nose in a month-old baby than to treat?

A runny nose can appear in a month-old baby. Often it accompanies allergies or SARS. In infancy, treating a baby is difficult, but still necessary. In a month-old baby, a runny nose can pass in a week if it is mild and has no complications. Mom should take into account that rhinitis makes it difficult for the baby to breathe, so he becomes restless, refuses to breastfeed.

Why is it necessary to treat a runny nose in a month-old baby?

If you do not take action in time, everything can end in serious complications. Sinusitis in a monthly child does not develop, most often mucus descends into the larynx, bronchi, trachea. In a baby, everything can end with acute bronchitis or pneumonia. An infant cannot protect itself from an infectious disease, so you need to help him in this.

Consultation with a pediatrician is necessary if you notice a large amount of mucus in a newborn when he was ill for the first time. Many mothers like to self-medicate, drip different drops into the baby's nose. It is forbidden to do this, you can only aggravate the situation.

Daily routine of a one-month-old baby with a cold

  • It is forbidden to bathe the baby for several days.
  • It is contraindicated in the first days of the disease to go outside, especially if, in addition to a runny nose, the temperature rises.
  • As often as possible, put the baby to the chest, so he will recover faster.
  • Give extra water to a one-month-old baby. Snot leads to the loss of a large amount of fluid. A monthly child is allowed to give only boiled water. It is forbidden to drink compote, tea, juice.

Application of a drop for a month-old baby

Some drops, unlike sprays, are allowed to be used for babies. The doctor may prescribe moisturizing, antiseptic, vasoconstrictive and antiviral drops.

To relieve swelling and ease breathing in an infant, vasoconstrictor drops are used, they dry out a little, reduce the amount of mucus. You should not get carried away with them, strictly follow the dosage indicated in the instructions. Bury in the nose three times a day. For babies, vasoconstrictor drops can be used for no more than three days. Remember that a vasoconstrictor is a potent one, often leading to various side effects.

If you do not take into account the dosage, and drip vasoconstrictor drops to the baby too often, convulsions, vomiting, and tremors may occur. You can use a month-old baby baby Nazivin, Nazol baby.

Moisturizing drops improve the condition of the mucous membrane, thin thick mucus, and clear the child's nose. In this case, drops are prescribed, which include sea water, saline. The drug is absolutely safe. With a severe runny nose, it is necessary to rinse the baby's nose every 2 hours. Moisturizing drops include Aquamaris, Salin, Otrivin baby, Aqualor baby.

When you instill and wash the nose of a one-month-old baby, you need to hold your head tightly and gently insert the pipette, you can’t do this deeply, otherwise you will injure the mucous membrane.

Sometimes a doctor prescribes antiviral drugs - Interferon, Grippferon - for the fastest recovery of the baby. Some therapists are against them, prescribing only to premature babies and those who have problems with the immune system.

Antiseptic drops dry the mucous membrane, rid it of germs. Used if the mucus is purulent green or yellow. The best remedy is Protargol, prepare the drug using silver. It is not available in pharmacies, they are made using a prescription.

Please note that antiseptic drugs, unlike vasoconstrictors, are not so dangerous, but with an increase in dosage they dry out the mucous membrane, leading to a burn of the nasal mucosa.

Methods for treating a runny nose in a month-old baby

Rarely, the baby's temperature rises, subfebral up to 38 degrees can be observed, it cannot be knocked down. At a temperature above 38.5, the baby must be given an antipyretic - Nurofen, Efferalgan, Panadol. Except medicines a runny nose in a child is treated with breast milk. Not everyone welcomes this method of treatment.

Traditional healers prove that mother's milk contains protective antibodies. Drops of mother's milk moisturize the mucous membrane. Opponents of this treatment method argue that milk drops are the main source of infection for a child. This is wrong! If the mother does not suffer from mastitis, a dangerous infectious disease, hepatitis, it is allowed to drip milk into the baby's nose.

At home, you can make your own saline solution. You need to take 200 ml of warm water, dissolve a quarter of a teaspoon of salt in it, so you get an expensive moisturizing drug.

For babies, carrot juice is suitable. To prepare it, you need to grate the carrots, squeeze it, then drip it drop by drop into each nostril. Juice actively fights viruses, begins to irritate her a little, the child often sneezes and in this way cleans his nose.

You can make drops with aloe. To do this, juice is squeezed out, a few drops are enough, warm water is added, the product is placed in a dark, cool place. Kalanchoe can not be used for a child, it greatly irritates the nasal mucosa.

If the child has a large amount of mucus, it is necessary to use a nasal aspirator, it perfectly clears the nose. Moisturizing drops are pre-buried to help thin the mucus. You can use a special aspirator or a small syringe.

It is important to constantly ventilate the room. In the room, be sure to lay out garlic, onions, their esters have an antiviral effect. For a month-old child, inhalations cannot be used, everything can end with laryngospasm, bronchial obstruction.

So, the treatment of a runny nose in a one-month-old baby is specific. It is forbidden to engage in self-medication, otherwise you can harm the little man.
