The baby has had a cold for a week and his nose is sticky.

Just because your baby has had a cold for a week and has a thick runny nose doesn’t mean he’s getting over it. A week of cold and sticky nose may be due to viral or bacterial infection caused by increased nasal secretions, the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity is swollen and aggravated. If it does not get better for a long time, it will affect the ventilation and drainage of the nasal cavity, resulting in the accumulation of secretions, so this does not mean that the baby will soon be well. Sticky nasal mucus can use wet towel hot compresses on the nose, can relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion in babies, to timely use wet cotton swabs to clean up the baby’s pus nasal mucus, to keep the airway open. During the cold, you should give your baby more boiled water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, ensure that children have enough sleep, improve children’s immune system, and promote the recovery of the condition. It is recommended that babies with uncomfortable symptoms should seek medical treatment in time to avoid serious consequences.
