A runny nose is unpleasant, especially in children. It is quite common in infants and prevents them from breathing and eating properly. In addition, without treatment for a cold in a newborn, various complications are possible.
Instructions
Step 1
For the treatment of rhinitis in children, folk remedies are often used. It is very important not to allow the mucus to thicken and dry out, this will only aggravate the situation. Ventilate the room more often where the child is. Put on a humidifier or place a wet towel on a hot radiator (in winter).
Step 2
A saline solution can be used to treat a common cold. To do this, you need to dilute ½ a small spoonful of sea salt in 100 g of warm boiled water. This solution should be instilled in the child, 3 drops in each nasal passage. Do not be alarmed if the child starts to act up, cough or sneeze. This is a normal reaction of the body. You can bury saline droplets every hour.
Step 3
Very often moms use parsley juice. It should be instilled in 2 drops up to 5-6 times a day. Parsley is capable of killing pathogens in the baby's nose.
Step 4
At the pharmacy, you can buy a vitamin A solution and add it drop by drop. The oil lubricates the nasal passages, which prevents the formation of crusts and relieves irritation of the mucous membranes. Vitamin A also contributes to the rapid regeneration of the baby's nasal mucosa. Sea buckthorn oil is often used for lubrication, it has the same effect as vitamin A.
Step 5
You can treat a runny nose with Kalanchoe. To do this, its juice is diluted in half with water. Then the diluted solution is instilled into each nostril in 1-2 drops. Kalanchoe juice irritates the mucous membrane, causing thinning and discharge of mucus from the nose. Kalanchoe juice can be mixed with St. John's wort oil.
Step 6
Few people know that it is possible to treat a runny nose in newborns with beets and onions. For example, beet juice (5: 1) or onion juice (15: 1) can be added to a saline solution or ordinary boiled water.
Step 7
Many mothers are mistaken that breast milk is good for getting rid of a cold. But it is not so. Mother's milk is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. This can only make the runny nose worse.
Step 8
If a runny nose is not accompanied by an elevated body temperature, then you can rub the child's legs with a warming balm, which can be purchased at the pharmacy. Then you need to put on warm socks on the legs and wrap them up. You can also sprinkle dry mustard into your socks.
