Physiological cold in a newborn
When the baby is two and a half months old, the runny nose does not talk about the disease. In mammary babies the mucosa after labor works only partially. At the age of up to ten weeks, the work of the nasopharynx and the nasal mucosa is included in full force. First, the condition is checked in the nose "dry", and then the condition is "wet". Moms are frightened and begin to cure. And the body knows that there is an excess of moisture. But then begin to wash the nose, drip droplets. Therefore, if a baby had a cold before 2.5 months and there are no symptoms of the disease, then he has a "physiological runny nose". Now you understand that you do not need to heal, but the child's nose is squelching, it prevents him from breathing and therefore the child needs help.
How to help your baby if he has a cold?
In the nozzle, it is necessary to maintain moisture and the main task is to prevent the mucous membrane from drying out. The house should have high humidity and cool air, as the mucus dries quickly at a temperature of 22 degrees. You can use an air humidifier or buy an aquarium. Arrange cups of water everywhere. Pour hot water into the tub and breathe wet air.
Breast milk
The woman in breast milk contains all the protective substances, they are developed throughout life. Drip 2 drops in the nose for three days.
Healing baths
Take in equal parts calendula, birch leaves, sage, yarrow, we mix and on a large bath, take 50 grams of collection, and on a baby bath we take 25 grams of herbal collection, we insist 2 hours. The water temperature should be at least 37 degrees. We make baths for 5 days, the bath time is 20 minutes.
The simple way is to get saline. In each nostril, drip half the pipette. If there is no time to run to the pharmacy, you can do something similar to saline. Take 1 teaspoon of salt and add it to a liter of boiled water or change the usual salt to sea, edible salt without additives. This solution is dripped into the spout. Do not wash your baby's nose with a small enema or pear. In small children, the liquid from the nose will pass into the Eustachian tube, it joins the ear and nose, which can cause otitis. But if you drip saline, then nothing will happen.
You can drip the infusion of herbs. Take an equal part of calendula, yarrow, mix and take 1 tsp spoonful of herbal tea, pour a glass of boiling water and boil for 20 minutes in a water bath. Cool and bury in each nostril ½ pipet, do so several times a day.
The baby can not suck off the mucus from the nose. Intensive suction will lead to severe swelling.
If the liquid runny nose, nasal mucosa is moistened, then the inside of the nose does not need to be lubricated. If the nose does not flow, then the nose does not dry out, it should be oiled with peach oil.
