What is the reason for my child s nasal congestion when he sleeps?

Children have nasal congestion as soon as they fall asleep, systemic factors such as trauma and colds cause bilateral inferior turbinate swelling resulting in nasal congestion, if there is no nasal congestion during the day, nasal congestion occurs when sleeping at night, and it is considered to be physiological nasal congestion. There are many causes of nasal congestion, such as chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal septum deviation, nasal lump and sinusitis, etc., it is recommended to find **symptomatic** effect in the hospital will be better.

The reason why children have nasal congestion as soon as they fall asleep.

1. Bilateral inferior turbinates will alternately hypertrophy every 46 hours, and when hypertrophy will cause nasal congestion, if it persists or even worsens nasal congestion, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. Considering adenoid hypertrophy, generally adenoid hypertrophy blocks the nostrils after 2 3 or more, and at the same time nasal congestion, snoring, sleep mouth breathing and other symptoms are obvious, you can give drugs to try, after the drug is conservative ** The effect is not good, that is, surgical resection can be considered.

2. Daily care for nasal congestion as soon as the child sleeps.

Children have short nasal passages, narrow nasal passages, and a delicate nasal mucosa with abundant blood vessels, so whenever there is a cold or flu, nasal congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa will be caused. When a cold occurs, in most cases, the nasal congestion and runny nose are first, and the nasal mucus refluxes through the nasopharynx to the airway to increase the sputum, and the human body coughs in order to discharge the phlegm.

The first thing to do is to find out if your child has discharge from the nose, and if there is secretion, you can use a clean cotton swab dipped in a small amount of warm water and gently insert it into the nasal cavity, then soften the secretion in the nasal cavity and then stick the secretion out.

If there is no nasal discharge in the baby's nasal cavity, nasal congestion may also be due to some inflammation, such as a cold, you can use a warm towel to warm the baby's nose root warm compress, at this time can also relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion, the reason for the baby's nasal congestion is because the nasal cavity is relatively narrow, and the nasal mucosa is very rich in blood vessels, so the change in environmental temperature will cause capillary congestion, so there will be nasal congestion.

It should be an inflammation of the nasal cavity, and it is recommended to go to the hospital to see.

Baby's sleep nasal congestion is affected by a variety of factors, which need to be dealt with according to the actual situation

1.Adenoidal hypertrophy. Topical treatments** can usually be done, such as using a physiologic seawater nasal spray to clean the nasal passages.

If there is a concomitant infection, it can be combined with anti-infective drugs** or nasal spray hormone drugs**. If the child also has sleep apnea, surgery may be an option if necessary**.

2.Acute rhinitis. It is mainly caused by respiratory viral infection, and when it is not serious, because the disease is self-limited, it can be general**, such as letting children drink more water and pay attention to rest, usually it will gradually improve after a few days.

When the situation is severe, it can be symptomatic**, such as using Chinese patent medicine powder to clear heat and detoxify**.

It may be that you are cold, as the old saying goes, the cold starts from the feet, and the child must wear a pair of socks in hot weather, and protect the child's little navel.

If your child is not nasal congestion caused by a cold, then you take your child to the hospital to check whether there is sinusitis, the child's health can not be ignored, hurry up and give him **, sinusitis is very harmful to the child, don't delay, I wish your child health and happiness!

In the past, when I was studying, a classmate began to have nasal congestion when she slept, and she had chronic rhinitis. Your child should go to the doctor, it is estimated that it is rhinitis. Or try it and smoke your nose with the heat of boiling water before going to bed and then go back to sleep.

Give your baby some water before going to bed. If it is a baby more than a week, you can choose a small pillow for the baby.

Does your baby have symptoms of a cold, if not, it may be rhinitis.

From your description of your child's sleep, your baby may have obstructive sleep apnea (also known as snoring) and wonder if your child snores while sleeping. Snoring is caused by narrowing of different planes of the upper respiratory tract, and in children, the most common cause is hypertrophy of the tonsils and adenoids. Your baby has severe bad breath, nasal congestion, and can't pass nasal polyps and sinusitis.

You can take your child to a specialist ENT hospital for a nose and throat examination to identify the location of the upper respiratory tract narrowing, and then decide on specific measures.
