Is the child's nose adenoidal hypertrophy?

Hypertrophic adenoids will also produce a lot of secretions, further blocking the nasal cavity, and the baby will snore when sleeping at night. Therefore, nasal congestion accompanied by snoring at night is a manifestation of adenoidal hypertrophy. If you want to make a definite diagnosis, parents can take their baby to the otolaryngology department, take a lateral film of nasopharynx, measure the diameter of adenoids, estimate the degree of hypertrophy, and perform surgery if necessary. The baby's adenoids are located at the back of the nasal cavity and are lymphoid soft tissues. Upper respiratory tract infection can stimulate adenoids and make them swollen. After repeated upper respiratory tract infections, the enlarged adenoids can no longer recover their original volume. If you don't meet the surgical standards, you can temporarily treat conservatively and try to avoid catching a cold.

What should I do if the newborn has sputum in the nasal cavity?

In view of the sputum-like sound in the newborn's nasal cavity, parents can take the following measures: First, apply a nasal aspirator to suck the nasal cavity, because there are many nasal secretions and sputum-like things in the nasal cavity after the child catches a cold. Parents can use the negative pressure of the nasal aspirator to effectively suck out the secretions in the nasal cavity, and the abnormal sound in the nasal cavity will disappear. Therefore, the newborn has sputum in the nasal cavity, and parents can clean the nasal cavity with a nasal aspirator or normal saline. Secondly, you can use physiological sea salt water to clean your child's nasal cavity, because the physiological sea salt water is very irritating to the nasal cavity and will not damage the nasal mucosa because of improper operation of the nasal aspirator.

How about a nasal scab?

This phenomenon is common in nasal vestibulitis, named after the area in front of the nasal cavity, whose surface covers the skin. In the acute stage, the nostrils are slightly painful, and the local skin is red, swollen and tender. In severe cases, the skin is eroded and the surface will be covered with scabs. In severe cases, the infection will spread to the skin of the upper lip. In the chronic stage, the nasal vestibule skin is itchy, dry and burning, and the skin can be thickened. Treatment: We should treat the primary diseases, such as some pathological changes of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, to avoid harmful stimulation.
