Child 1 month sniffing nose

A "grunting" spout can often be found in toddlers of this age. The main reasons for the fact that the child grunts at the nose in one month is the physiological structure of the nasal sinuses and the mucus, frozen in them, or colds.

Why does the child grunt and how to deal with it?

The nose of the crumb is arranged so that the nasal passages are narrow, and the mucus accumulated for one reason or another, withers. The formed crusts produce sounds similar to grunting when breathing. The answer to the question of what to do if a child is 1 month old and grunts his nose will depend on the reasons for the appearance of this condition:

1. Inadequate hygiene of the nasal passages. At this age, without special means, the baby is very difficult to clean the spout. To help parents come up with different solutions (Salin, Aqua Maris, etc.), which successfully eliminate dried mucus. And the scheme of their application is very simple: the baby is placed on the barrel, making sure that the head is not thrown back, 3 drops of the drug are dripped into the nostril, massaged, and after 3 minutes the soft mucus is removed with a tightly and thinly twisted cotton swab.
2. Dry air in the room at the crumbs. The reason that the child in 1-1,5 months grunts a nose, can be a dry, hot and stale air of a children's room. To eliminate this situation, doctors recommend more often to ventilate the room and do a wet cleaning, as well as use an air humidifier.
3. The karapuz often lie on their backs. This is another reason that mucus stagnates in the nose of the baby. Eliminate it can be through various exercises: turn the baby on his tummy and a cask, massage his back and limbs.
4. The crumb got a cold or SARS. If the child grunts his nose for 1 month and coughs, then this is an excuse to show the doctor. Most likely, the mucus does not remain dried in the nose, but falls into the larynx and bronchi. In this case, drugs are used to wash the nose (Aqualor baby, Aqua Maris , etc.) and vasoconstrictive drops (Nazivin, Adrianol, etc.)

To summarize, I want to note that the comfortable atmosphere in the children's room and the proper hygiene of the spout will help you rid the crumb of the "grunting" discomfort. However, it is worth remembering that this symptom can also appear with various colds. In this case, do not delay the visit to the doctor, because the wrong treatment can lead to unfortunate consequences.
