The stuffy nose of a newborn is not necessarily a cold, because the cold of a newborn baby is often not manifested as a stuffy nose, but mainly manifested as poor spirits, reduced milk intake, and crying. Since the newborn has just arrived in a new environment, we are accustomed to the environment is not suitable for him, external stimuli will affect the nasal mucosa, so neonatal nasal congestion, sneezing, etc. are normal phenomena, do not worry too much.
Newborns have symptoms such as nasal congestion and sneezing. Do not take cold medicine rashly. It will cause the baby’s nasal mucosa to dry out, reduce secretions, and further reduce the defense against external microbes. Microbes can invade and cause neonatal respiratory infections. The health impact is even greater.
