Why Use Our Nasal Aspirator
What causes a stuffy nose to your baby?
Babies usually suffer from mild congestion, which is not very concerning. Because their airways are so little and their lungs are still developing, babies occasionally require additional assistance to eliminate congestion. Your baby's care will be centered on keeping them comfortable and cleaning any mucus from their plugged nose.
If your baby has a stuffy nose or is congested, they may appear to be breathing faster than normal. But babies tend to breathe pretty fast already. On average, babies take 40 breaths per minute, whereas adults take 12 to 20 breaths per minute.
However, if your baby is taking more than 60 breaths per minute, or if they appear to be struggling to catch their breath, take them to an emergency room right away.
A number of symptoms could be observed in a baby with nasal congestion:
Thick Mucus In The Nose
Nasal Mucous Discoloration
Snoring Or Noisy Breathing While Sleeping
Sniffling
Coughing
Difficulty Eating
Since Nasal Congestion Makes Breathing Difficult
While They Suck
1. Allergies: An allergen is an innocuous substance that provokes an immune system reaction as though it were dangerous. Pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and some foods are examples of common allergies.
2. Hay fever: An allergic reaction to airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, hay fever is sometimes referred to as allergic rhinitis. Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itching in the eyes, nose, or roof of the mouth, and watery, red eyes are some of the symptoms
3. Noncancerous growths (Nasal Polyps): These growths, which originate in the sinus or nasal lining, are not cancerous. They are frequently linked to long-term inflammation and can cause symptoms like runny or congested noses.
4. Sinonasal tumors: These are growths that originate in the sinuses or nasal cavity. They can be malignant (cancerous), as well as benign (noncancerous). Nasal congestion, nasal obstruction, headaches, facial pain, and nosebleeds are possible symptoms
5. Chemical exposures: Contact or inhalation of substances that may irritate or injure the body is referred to as a chemical exposure. These substances are present in a variety of contexts, including homes, offices, and outdoor areas.
6. Environmental irritants: These are things found in the surroundings that have the potential to irritate the respiratory system or other body parts. Cigarette smoke, air pollution, harsh smells, and dust are a few examples.
7. Chronic sinusitis: Usually lasting 12 weeks or longer, chronic sinusitis is an extended sinus irritation. Infections, allergies, or anatomical anomalies may be the cause. Symptoms include thick nasal discharge, face pain or pressure, nasal congestion, and diminished sense of smell.
8. Anatomic variants: Those with altered nasal passage anatomy, such as Deviated Septum, Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy, and Concha Bullosa, are referred to as anatomic variants. Examples include concha bullosa (air-filled cavities within the nasal turbinates), inferior turbinate hypertrophy (enlargement of the structures inside the nose called turbinates), and a deviated septum (a shift in the wall that divides the nasal passageways).
9. Enlarged adenoids: Adenoids are lymphoid tissues that are situated close to the nasal duct opening in the back of the throat. Expanded adenoids have the potential to block the nasal airway, resulting in symptoms like chronic sinus infections, snoring, nasal congestion, and trouble breathing through the nose.
10. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and trouble swallowing are symptoms of this digestive disorder, which is caused by stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus. Babies with GERD may exhibit symptoms including spitting up, agitation, trouble feeding, and congestion in the nasal passages
