Children's Blocked Nose
Blocked noses are common in babies and young children, especially during the colder months or allergy seasons. While congestion is often due to viral infections like the common cold or flu, it can also stem from allergies, sinus issues or even from exposure to dry air.
Symptoms
more challenging feeding, sleeping and daily routines
noisy breathing or snoring
sinus pressure
fatigue
occasionally a cough
kids may need to breathe through their mouths if their nasal passages are clogged
Treatment
Supporting children through congestion focuses on comfort and relief. Keeping them well hydrated, using a humidifier and encouraging rest can all help the body recover. Elevating a child’s head during sleep, using steam from a warm shower or gently wiping away mucus can also be soothing home remedies. If allergies are suspected, reducing exposure to common triggers like pollen, dust or pet dander is important. Always be alert for signs that require medical attention, such as a persistent high fever, difficulty breathing or ongoing symptoms that last beyond a couple of weeks.
