Babies with runny noses and stuffy noses may seem normal, but they can cause trouble for parents because they can easily make babies eat and sleep poorly. Smaller babies may have difficulty breathing due to nasal congestion, while older babies will breathe through their mouths when their noses are blocked. Open-mouth breathing can cause dry mouth and tongue, deformed teeth, and upward arches. Long-term nasal congestion and inflammation of the mucous membrane can easily cause nasal reflux.
The principle of the nasal aspirator is to use negative pressure to suck the mucus out of the nasal cavity. According to the different ways of generating negative pressure, the nasal aspirators that can be used at home are mainly divided into manual and electric types, both of which are first-class medical devices. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the more common manual nasal aspirators are press-type or mouth-suction types, which are small in size and easy to carry, but the suction force is weak and not easy to disinfect and clean; the electric nasal aspirator relies on electricity to drive the pump to generate suction, which usually produces greater suction.
Do not use a nasal aspirator with too strong suction, and do not insert the nasal aspirator catheter too deep, so as not to hurt the child's fragile mucosa and cause swelling or bleeding. The nasal cavity is connected to the Eustachian tube. Excessive force will cause the Eustachian tube to be unbalanced and cause pain in the middle ear. In particular, the front of the nasal septum is rich in blood vessels, which can easily cause nosebleeds due to injuries.
Usually, after taking a bath, before going to bed, or when the amount of nasal mucus accumulates too much, helping the baby suck out the nasal mucus moderately can improve breathing and sleep quality. However, this tool for caring for babies must be used correctly to play its value.
When sucking out the nasal mucus, fix the baby to prevent the baby from struggling and getting injured. When using an electric nasal aspirator, start with the minimum suction force, slowly and repeatedly suck a small amount, and suck for about 3 seconds at a time. Do not seek to quickly and forcefully suck and hurt the nasal mucosa. At the same time, it can reduce the burden of suction on the eardrum to reduce discomfort. If the baby shows a painful expression or bleeding, stop the operation immediately.
Although a nasal aspirator can effectively suck out nasal mucus, it is an uncomfortable device for children after all. Are there other ways to relieve nasal congestion?
You can consider flushing your baby's nose. The flushing method is effective, but it requires the baby's cooperation; spray salt water from the right nostril to let dirt and mucus flow out from the left.
Or you can use medicine to relieve the symptoms of runny nose. Before taking medicine, you must determine whether it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If it is a bacterial infection, you can consider using antibiotics according to the severity of the disease. If it is not caused by infection but allergies, you can use oral antihistamines or steroid nasal sprays.
