Breastfall strokes the nose and no snot. Why a breast child grunts his nose and how to help him. Features of the structure of the nasopharynx of a newborn

13.11.2020

Often, parents with bewilderment and anxiety notice that their recently discharged to the baby rod grunts. Such pupils, as well as wheezing, whistle and other similar sounds in the nose, especially often occur during and after feeding, as well as after sleep. At the same time, the child can observe the symptoms of a runny nose, but not always - sometimes the nose grunts, although there are no snot.

Why does the baby grunts his nose, and what to do in this case? It turns out that flickering is a common phenomenon among babies and breast-age children, and in most cases - practically harmless. We will tell why the baby shoes his nose, and what to do so that the baby can breathe freely and easily.

Where do grunt sounds come from?

Why does the baby grunts his nose? The grunting occurs if the air when passing over the nasal strokes is stumbled on the obstacle - mucus, crusts, adenoids, foreign body, etc.

The nasal moves in the children of the first year of life are very narrow, and the slightest cluster of the mucus (which must be in the nose to disinfection and humidification) violates the free passage of air, which is why all sneakers appear.

In addition, the baby does not know how to high like adults, and the mucus in the nose can be for a long time. At the same time, it thickens and dries, even stronger complicating breathing. If the mucus has accumulated in the front sections of the nose, it can be easily removed as a aspirator or a small pear. If the mucus is too deep, but it is worth trying to pull it out - you can damage the mucous membrane of the child, provoke bleeding, put into the nasopharynx of the bacterium.

It is the accumulation of mucus in the rear sections of the nose most often causes the appearance of grunty sounds.

The reasons

Enhanced mucus formation, and as a result - the grunt in the nose, can be caused by several reasons:

physiological runny nose of babies;
cold runny nose;
dry air in the nursery;
allergic reaction to dust, pet wool, pollen of flowers, domestic chemistry;
we rub the teeth.

Normally, a part of the resulting mucus evaporates, and part - flows into the throat and swallows. But if the air in the room is dry, the fluid from the mucus evaporates too fast, and the selection in the nose is condensed. Thick, viscous mucus complicates the self-cleaning of the nose, accumulates and "scores" the nose. The accumulation of mucus contributes to a number of factors, among which are insufficient kid mobility and its constant is in a horizontal position.

Rubble

The first idea visiting the parents if the baby grunts his nose is a runny nose. At the same time, it is rarely taken into account the fact that a runny nose is a symptom, not a disease, and it appears at the following states:

Infection is viral, less often bacterial.

Indeed, a runny nose caused by respiratory infection is accompanied by reinforced mucus formation, which is why the child cannot freely breathe nose and sticks out. At the same time, the patient also has other symptoms of colds - sneezing, cough, redness of the throat, an increase in body temperature.

It happens that the child in 2 months is grunting his nose, but there is no other symptoms of the disease - the baby is cheerful and active, the temperature is normal. In this case, you should not worry - most likely, you faced a physiological rhino. Newborn, as well as children up to 3 months, have a more wet mucous membrane than adults. The mucus can be so much that it looks like a runny nose. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has nothing to do with the disease, and no treatment requires. At the age of two or three months, the operation of the mucous membrane is normalized, and the physiological runny nose passes.

Allergic rhinitis.

Allergies are often congenital, so the fact that allergic rhinitis can be diagnosed in infants should not be surprising. What can cause allergies? In fact, the children's room is full of potential allergens - both pets and dust (or rather - omnipresent dust pliers), and household chemicals, which mother washed the floors or folded bed linen. With an allergic rhine, a large amount of liquid transparent mucus is distinguished from the nose, the child often sneezes, his eyes blush, there is a tear.

Stagnation mucus

If the breast kid shrieks his nose, but snot almost do not flow, it is very likely that they accumulate in deep departments of the nasal cavity. The baby is not unimportant, and even mom cannot pull the mucus with the help of aspirator. How to help the child?

Pigeons almost all the time spends in a horizontal position (lying). This is the first factor complicating the outflow of mucus from the nose. Moving the child on the stomach, on the side, until he knows how to do it on its own. When feeding, keep it so that the head is raised - it does not only make it easier for nasal breathing, but also prevents milk from entering the nasopharynk (which is often the cause of the grunt after feeding).

The second cause of stuffing is dry air. Remember that the humidity 50-70% is favorable for the respiratory tract (at 18-22 ° C).

Dry crusts in the nose

If the baby scribes with his nose, or you hear the coating and whistle with the nose, most likely, dry crusts have accumulated in the nasal strokes. The reasons for this are all the same - dry air, no ventilation, dustiness of the room, the abuse of the heater, rare walks with the child.

To facilitate the breath of the child, driving its nose with saline or salt nasal drops, such as Aqua Maris, Salin, etc., and then remove the softened peels. From the front sections of the nose, they can be removed with a wet chopper (use cotton sticks with a limiter) or a tone from cotton wool or gauze. In the backs of the nose do not penetrate. Check out the moisturizing drops several times a day, and peel deep into the nose themselves.

Often moms complain that breasts in the nose in the nose are intensified in the morning, and also accompanied by cough. At the same time, to pull the mucus aspirator does not succeed, as if she sits very deeply. In this case, you can suspect postnasal pitch syndrome.

The postnasal phenomenon syndrome is a pathological phenomenon in which the mucus formed in the nasophake flows into the throat and accumulates on the rear wall of the pharynx, provoking inflammation.

His symptoms:

grunt in the nose at night and in the morning;
coughing after awakening;
redness of the throat;
restless sleep;
the feeling of coma in the throat, the merger in the throat (unfortunately, only older children can say about it).

The root cause of a pedestal progression syndrome is a runny nose, with any type (allergic, infectious - does not matter). Normally, the nasoplock mucus follows both outside and inside - in the throat, but at the same time it should not accumulate on the walls of the pharynx. And here, again, it is necessary to mention the dryness of the air - it is this factor that provokes a thickening of the mucus, which means it hangs on the back wall of the nasopharynx, provoking the throat, cough, and grunting in the nose.

Teething

Sometimes you have to hear the complaints of the parents, they say, the child 2 months grunts with his nose, since he began to break the first teeth. Indeed, the strengthened formation of mucus in the nose, and as a result - the grunt, accompany the teething of the teeth very often. The fact is that teething is always accompanied by local inflammation of the gums. This leads to an enhanced influx of blood to the oral cavity, and the enhanced formation of saliva. Nasal mucus has a lot in common with saliva - both saliva and snot contain a large number of disinfectants, such as lysozyme, interferons, as well as that, and the other is highlighted in a large amount in response to inflammation.

Prevention and treatment

What should parents do if the baby scrolls with his nose with breathing? To facilitate the breath of the baby, and also reduce the risk of problems with the upper breathing paths in the future, follow the following recommendations:

regularly clean the front departments of the nasal moves using moisturized cotton sticks or turf;
when accumulating a large amount of mucus in the nose, suck it with a special aspirator (after use it is necessary to rinse it with warm water with soaps);
play with the child, turn it out, make a massage - all this stimulates active breathing and prevents the stress of mucus in the nasopharynx;
maintain the optimal temperature and humidity in the house;
in the heating season several times a day, irrigate the nasopharynx of a child with moisturizing nasal drops, or maintain normal air humidity using a special device - humidifier;
check the children's room every day, preferably before bedtime;
regularly conduct wet cleaning in the nursery, and also get rid of the extra "dust collectors" by the baby's bed - carpets, teddy toys;
when symptoms are a cold, the child's treatment should be discussed with a pediatrician.

Thus, stupidity can be both a physiological phenomenon and a signal that the child's breathing is complicated. In any case, it should attract the attention of parents, becoming a stimulus to improve the conditions in the house and the correct care of the toddler's spout.

To the health of the child up to a year, you need to treat special attention. Any diseases and drugs used during this period can affect the health of the baby in the future. Sometimes some diseases in infants can take place with hidden symptoms so that it will be enough to determine them. There are cases when the child has no snot, but it is covered. Why does this happen and what to do about it? Here the most important thing is to correctly identify the problem and timely start treatment.

When a child breathes his mouth for a long time, a lack of oxygen (hypoxia), dangerous for the full development of the whole organism occurs. It can cause elevated intracranial pressure and disruption of the functions of the central nervous system.

If the nose hinders the child to eat normally, it eats less food, gaining little weight and lags behind the average development of children's children.

Why does a child covered his nose?

When the baby begins to sniff at night, and even more so if the coating is accompanied by a worsening of sleep, restless state, refusal of food and crying, the parents cannot disturb it. But before taking measures and grab the medicines, it is necessary to understand this problem in detail and reveal the reason for the suggestion.

The main reason is the usual runny nose, which for the first few days can proceed almost asymptomatic. Mystery discharge from the nose appear on the third day. Do not need to be frivolously treated. Breastfish has a faster immune system, so he needs to help in the fight against the disease so that it does not move into a chronic form or did not lead to complications.

Allergic runny nose can not be accompanied by the discharge from the nose at all. Because of it swells the mucous me, as a result of which breathing is disturbed.

The nasal congestion and the lack of secretions may be a sign of a sinusitis, in which the mucus accumulates in the gaymorovy sinuses. It requires immediate treatment.

After influenza, measles, ARVI, bacterial infection can inflave the lattice sinus. This disease is called Etmoiditis, is a kind of sinusitis. It takes and is treated hard.

If the baby has no snot, but the nose is laid and all the time a mouth is discontinued, then perhaps he has adenoids. Increased in the sizes of almond blocks the nasopharynx passage and makes it difficult to breathe.

Adenoid can arise due to previously suffered diseases, whose causative agent was infection or virus. Adenoids can lead to a loss of hearing. Absorbed almond can overlap the auditory channel, making it difficult to pass the air in the middle ear. If not to treat adenoids, the chest can be incorrectly formed, disproportionately grow the bones of the face and teeth. In addition, anemia may occur.

Simptoms are similar to adenoids - benign formations on the mucous membrane. They overlap the nasal moves, preventing breathing. Often accompanied by pain in the head and high fatigue. Polyps and adenoids are usually removed by surgical.

The kids are often trying to shove themselves in the mouth or nose some item. Once in the nasal pass, it can get stuck there, overlapping free air intake. Sometimes the foreign body falls very deeply, see and get it does not work without special tools.

If the child covers his nose, but there is no snot, then the cause of the problem may be in the curvature of the nasal partition. This may occur as a result of injury causing the hematoma and the edema of the nasal partition. Externally, it can not manifest.

Congenital anomalies and the narrowing of nasal moves are rare, but also this reason cannot be excluded. Among pathologies, the combination of the nasal exit from the nose is most often found, leading to partial or complete impassability of air.

Any of the above causes of nasal congestion can cause complications with which it will be worked very hard. Therefore, when problems finding a baby with a free breathing, parents should take him to the children's doctor-otolaryngologist. He will be able to diagnose the disease or its absence with the help of medical instruments and experience accumulated years.

Safe Causes Approval Breast

If the child covers his nose, but he has no snot and he does not show any anxiety, sleeps well, plays, does not refuse his chest (bottles), then the problem of suggestion is likely to be safe and is associated with some features of the body. Natural reasons are applied:

Features of the structure of nasopharynx in children up to six months. Newborn has narrow nasal moves, the air passes along them with noise. The crumb is growing, nasal moves are becoming wider, and gradually breathing becomes more quiet. But up to this point, the breath of the child is frequent, arrhythmical, with snoring, suggestion and grunt.
Dry hot air in the children's room. The mucousness dries, crusts make breathing. The child can experience itching, sneeze, wrinkle spout, trying to get rid of discomfort. Punched nasal passage worse filters dust particles, malicious bacteria, so they can freely get into the larynx, bronchi, lungs, causing heavy diseases.
Frequent swelling after feeding. It happens if immediately after eating the infants is in a horizontal position. Part of the food at the time of joining the back of the nasal moves is in the back, so hazardous sounds are heard when breathing.
Teething. During this period, many kids are tormented with nasal congestion. In addition, the body is in a weakened state and is subject to various infections. At this time, it is recommended to protect the baby from communicating with people to reduce the risk of the disease (for example, ORVI).

Prevention and nasal congestion

To exclude problems with the nose due to drying, you need to constantly monitor the level of humidity and air purity in the apartment. To do this, ventilation, wet cleaning are performed daily, the humidifier is acquired, wet towels are hanging or plated water containers.

For moisturizing the mucous membrane of the nose and softening of the resulting crusts, solutions based on sea salt are used. It can be made independently or buy in a pharmacy (Aqua Maris, Salin, Orivin Bebi). Drink up to each nostril twice or three times a day. Little spout need to be cleaned with little wool flagella.

In no case should not clean the nose of the child with cotton chopsticks so as not to cause injury.

Wool flagellas should be about 5 cm long, it is impossible to put them in a nose deeper than 2 cm. For each nostrils, a new flagery is used. Grease them with boiled water, saline, boiled oil (olives, almond, peach).

If the reason that the toddler coitizes is physiological (not to the end of the formed gortean organs), then it is not necessary to treat it. Everything will go through itself until six months. But consult a doctor, show the child still will have to eliminate the presence of other diseases.

In order for the child, there was no problems with the nose due to jerking, after each feeding, it is necessary to hold it in a vertical position for 10-15 minutes, so that all the air falling into the stomach in the process of sucking.

When diagnosing a cold, breathing can be easily easily with the help of vasoconducting droplets. It is better to use them as a last resort - when the baby cannot be left because of the nasal nasal. These drops only remove unpleasant symptoms, but do not treat. You can not use more than 3 days in order not to cause addiction or side effects.

To identify whether the nasal is a sign of allergies, it is worth excluding all possible allergens from the environment: to make general cleaning in the room, without using household chemicals, remove heavy and woolen carpets and covered (they collect a lot of dust), give a friend Pets, wash things the child with children's powder. Nursing mother for a while it is worth abandoning allergen products. If a child on artificial feeding, then you can try a hypoallergenic mixture.

To confirm in advance the absence or identify the presence of congenital pathologies, regularly conduct planned inspections from doctors. But, if the child's shoes and behaves restlessly, then it is necessary to visit the cabinet of Laura from being unscheduled.

Parents are always wary of their breast child's health, because his body is still not completely faster. Therefore, any deviations from the norm can be a reason for concern.

For example, if the baby grunts the nose, but no snot, it is covered, the nose is laid, parents need to be understood why the grunting arises than it is dangerous, and what to do.

Causes of newborns and infants

A situation in which the newborn baby grunts his nose and sniffs, but there are no snot or inflammation, and it develops well enough.

Nasal moves in the newborn very narrow, and even a small obstacle to air provokes trouble.

The mucous can be irritated from air or jerking, mucus or milk overlap the nasal moves and provoke sounds when air passing, which sounds like a characteristic grunt. "

Why a newborn grunts with a nose, sniffs, and the nose is empty, what to do? The reason may be banal - parents simply do not read the baby nose or do it not completely.

This is referred to as a physiological rhino. Usually, after some time, this problem itself passes.

But everything may be worse. If the baby began to rolling without any snot, it can talk about adverse conditions around him.

It may be in a viral infection, too dry air or in an allergic reaction that can manifest itself on dust, animal wool.

If the grunty sounds are manifested only at night, It may say that a sprocket accumulates at night on the back of the throat.

This is often manifested in the autumn period, when heating begins to work, and the air indoors is dry, wintering for frost or autumn in rainy weather. All this is options for the norm.

Too dry or warm air indoor - A common reason why the breast child grunts his nose, but no snot. To normalize the state, air humidification is necessary and regular wet cleaning indoors.

Nose can rush due to viral infection. In infants it may appear due to serious supercooling. Easy cold often manifests itself as follows: whether the newborn is wheezing with a nose), not accompanied by discharge from the nose.

Breathing can become grunting due to various diseases, and quite serious. Do not exclude the following diseases:

transient tachipne in infants. It is found in 1% of cases. It is characterized by rapid breathing, the formation of the skin, wheezing in the lungs. Usually passes without a trace;
disease of hyaline membranes. It makes itself felt in the first days of life, and his main sign is a shortness of breath. Medications will allow the week to get rid of unpleasant symptoms;
policytemy. It is manifested by the sinusiness of the limbs, shortness of breath, convulsions, oppression of reflexes.

Usually eliminate such diseases easily - the grunt is not the main and not the only symptom, they usually appear more unpleasant signs.

What to do

What to do parents if the newborn baby grunts a spout? If it is in physiological reasons, then you do not need to treat the baby. One can only facilitate its condition, adjusting the temperature and level of humidity in the room.

It is possible to use saline or droplets based on sea water - Aquamaris, akvalor.

If there is a small amount of transparent sections, they need to be removed using the nasal aspirator.

How to clean the nose with a newborn:

If the slime of yellow-green is accumulated in the nasophackThis suggests that the cause is infectious. There may be an increase in body temperature, cough, sneezing, general ailment.

The newborn run nose, he scrolls his nose, grunts. Treatment should be under the control of a specialist.

Prescribed vesseloring drops designed specifically for kids. Use them carefully, according to the instructions.

Often children are prescribed such drugs as Nazivin and Orivin. To combat viruses and bacteria in the field of nasopharynx use the drug Potargol or. This is an antiseptic that narrows the vessels and at the same time makes breathing.

From home treatment methods also distinguishes inhalations for which physical or mineral water can be used. This facilitates the symptom of Khryukanya in a newborn.

If the mucosa of the nasal sinuses is not moisturized enough, nasal moves are recommended to lubricate flames, lubricated oil solutions of drugs.

However, this method is risky, as such means are strong allergens, so it is possible to use them only with the permission of the doctor.

From folk remedies chamomile or calendula. Apply them from pipettes. Sea water based agents can be replaced by a weakly concentrated brine.

It is possible to moisturize the mucous membrane with sea buckthorn oil, aloe juice or calangean, diluted with water in equal proportions.

Such means help to get rid of the symptoms of the "grunting" nose, when the newborn rages his nose, but no snot, but specialist should establish the cause of such a phenomenon.

The opinion of Dr. Komarovsky

The famous Children's doctor Komarovsky says that if a newborn grunts his nose, but no snot, the infants does not show any unpleasant symptoms, he has no signs of infection, it is enough to facilitate the breath of simple measures. Getting rid of grune.

It is important to create indoors where baby is favorable climate. The room needs to be keen, especially before bedtime. Fresh cool air baby is transferred better than overwhelmed.

The problem may be in a dry, "compressed" air. To ensure normal humidity you can use special air humidifiers, complex air conditioning systems.

After conducting water procedures, clean the tower of the nose, using thin gauze flagella or tours, moistened with boiled water. If these manipulations do not help, rinse the nose with saline or a little salted water.

To wash the nose, the baby must be put on the side and cut the top nostril solution. For newborns optimal drops, not sprays.
Do not use percentage of 9% concentration. The concentration of salts in them exceeds the concentration of them in the blood, which can cause the cutting of the tender mucous membrane, and the grunting as a result can be only stronger.
If the baby scrolls, scrolls with a nose without snot, you can try more attention to clean the room cleaning and hygienic procedures. With proper care, the symptoms must pass by themselves, even if the kid has permanently or bothered.

In contact with

Parents of the first year of life, the parents of the first year often notice that the baby shriekshes the nose, but there are no snot. The reason may be in purely physiological changes, in the disease, in allergies, in problems with air - and distinguish between people who do not have greater experience and special education can be difficult.

However, in fact, nothing is complicated - it is enough to remember the objective criteria in which the situation requires an appeal to the doctor.

Why newborn grunts nose: physiological reasons

What a child grunts with a nose may not mean anything terrible. Not necessarily he is sick.

The most common is the active development of the nasal mucosa. In the first 2 months, the infant body adapts to the conditions of the outside world. The mucus is produced too much, it is too small, sometimes the nose swells, and sometimes it has thin snapshafts inside.

The process becomes more noticeable if the air indoors where the infants is constantly:

The mucosa in an infant child is very sensitive, due to the unsuitable conditions, it dries and crusts on it begin to form more often.

It is possible to separate such a state from pathological processes by the complete absence of other symptoms. The baby does not cough, his eyes will not get out, he does not sneeze.

To cope with it, you need to perform two simple steps:

Maintain a healthy atmosphere in the room. In the morning and evening to air, wash the floors and wipe the dust is not less than once again two days, not allow the temperature to rise above twenty-two degrees. To ensure humidity, you can put an aquarium, a large saucepan with water or buy a special humidifier.

Delete filtered crusts. Once, formed, they themselves will not go anywhere, so to remove them from the nose into the baby. To do this, we need to turn out of cotton thin flavors - slightly thinner than the diameter of the nasal moves - and moisten them in a weak saline solution (it is best to buy special drops from seawater in a pharmacy). After you need to drip the nose into the nose with moisturizing drops, wait two minutes until the crusts are softened, and with a cautious circular motion with the help of flagellas, remove them with mucous membranes.

In the process of removal, accuracy is very important. The baby needs to calm down so that he does not interfere with and not jumped in the process. Flashing flashes without push. It is no more frequent than it requires the need - that is, the procedure is carried out no earlier than the newborn again starts a hoarse nose.

The second physiological reason is the cutting teeth. The grunt in the nose in the infants often accompanies this process, since the entire nasophack swells and the air ceases to pass through the nose. Symptoms from teething a lot:

hades look red and inflamed;

the temperature increases - not very much, to subfebrile values;

the baby loses its appetite, becomes a capricious, plaqueous, he has a lot of saliva, he often wakes up at night;

nasal congestion is most often without snot.

The main symptom, which makes it possible to understand that the infection is not infection, but just the teeth are cut, it is his constant desire to nibble or bite - the edge of the blankets, a favorite toy, its own leg.

Treatment in teething is not required - this is a natural process, it is enough to wait a couple of days, and the sharp state will pass by itself.
But if it did not pass in three or four days - this is a reason to consult a doctor.

Pathological reasons

Dr. Komarovsky believes that due to physiological reasons, it should not be worried too much - the infants will grow a little and everything will come to normal.

It is quite another cause of pathological. They represent a real hazard to health and treat them quickly, decisively, with the help of a doctor.

The first one is allergic. Allergic runny nose accompany the following symptoms:

conjunctivitis - the baby swells, blush the eyelids, their eyes will tears;

the general weakness - the infants becomes sluggish, he eats badly, sleeps a lot, worried without reason;

skin problems - most often it is redness in the most delicate places.

In addition, a careful parent may notice that the baby begins to shine the nose solely at certain conditions. If allergy to dust is at home. If on flowering plants - then on the street. It is worth changing the situation, and the symptom disappears.

With allergies, the infants grunts and sneezes, covered in a dream, becomes a capricious. Treatment methods are only two:

Isolation from allergen. The body of infants is very sensitive to its effects, so you need to exclude contact. Wash the floors every day, if it is dust. Change chemicals on natural, if the problem is in them. Give the cat, do not open the window when the plants are allergens. In the worst cases, it may be necessary to move.

Antihistamines. It is rarely used, for kids age in 1 month or 2 weeks - never. Over time, getting accustomed, plus suppress the immune system - they are prescribed only when the health risk from allergies is higher than the risk of side effects from the drug.

When the baby is growing, it will be possible to drive it to an allergist on small injections of allergen, which will allow the body to get used to and reduce the reaction. Such therapy is not conducted for babies.

The second pathological cause is infection. It is characterized by the following symptoms:

an increase in temperature - either a sharp, above thirty eight or slow, to subfebrile values;

the general weakness - the kid is sluggish, capricious, fossil, refuses meals;

cough - not always manifest, but often, plus blushes and the throat is inflamed;

nasal congestion - sometimes with mucus, but it happens without;

diarrhea, vomiting - not always manifest, depending on the type of infection.

The main manifestations of infection are temperature and weakness. Any symptoms can complement them, depending on where the infection has penetrated. If it is in the throat, the infants will pass. If she is in the intestine, he will have diarrhea. If in the nose, then it will dug mucus.

Interestingly, small children, in essence, do not cough - this reflex has not yet developed. The monthly child will be more likely to delete.

Evgeny Komarovsky - Like most pediatricians, it believes that for a small child, the infection is very dangerous and can even lead to a fatal outcome. Therefore, finding that the kid had the temperature that he grunts his nose, which refuses to eat, you need to immediately contact the doctor, without trying to engage in self-medication - it will not help anyway.

Infection in children is treated, combining:

Also, doctors make every effort to develop immunity, capable of fighting the disease independently.

What is dangerous nasal

What is dangerous infection, everyone knows.

What is dangerous concreteness - a more subtle and interesting question.

In young children, she can call:

Chronic respiratory diseases. Air coming down with nasal breathing is filtered. But if the infants constantly breathes the mouth, dust, infections, allergens, which are deposited in lungs and on the gland, is falling inside, which is fraught with the development of chronic diseases.

Delay in development. For the child it is very important to obtain enough oxygen - and it is also important to get enough food. The baby who has a nose, gets too little oxygen and can not normally eat. As a result, he decreases the weight and slows down the overall development of the body.

Bronchial asthma. If dust and allergens are constantly settled in the lungs, sooner or later the reaction of the immune system will become inadequately strong - the asthma will develop, which is characterized by heavy attacks of choking, capable of causeing a fatal outcome.

Reduced immunity. The lack of oxygen plus the inhalation of allergens and causative agents of the infection negatively affects the body. In addition to other effects, they can also cause a decrease in immunity, which leads to the fact that the child is constantly sick.

In general, the baby grunts is a nose - a reason for anxiety, but not too strong. Only if he also cough or suffers from elevated temperatures, diarrhea or vomiting should immediately consult a doctor.

The adaptation of the mucous membrane of the baby's nasal cavity to the air environment includes a number of various reactions. As a result, it may be the impression that the child grows his nose.

This state is usually not accompanied by a runny nose or other unpleasant symptoms. However, sometimes it indicates dangerous pathologies.

Physiological reasons

Most often, the infants grunts with a nose due to the adaptation of the nasal mucosa to the surrounding conditions and narrowness of the nasal holes. In the nose of the kid all the time there is a mucous secret, which is required to disinfect air entering its body.

The air flow passes through narrow nasal strokes, and faces an obstacle in the form of mucus. This is exactly the cause of grunting sounds. As a rule, it is typical of newborn children and babies for 1-2 months.

In addition, there are several physiological reasons why a child fucks:

If grunting sounds occur, there are no snot, it is possible to suspect increased dryness of the mucous membrane of the respiratory organs. When irritating the moves of the nose, a large amount of mucus is produced, which is similar to a runny nose in viral infections. It accumulates in the nose in the child. Insufficient moisture in the room leads to dryness and swelling of the mucous inter. That is why the child can grunt in a dream. To avoid similar symptoms, you need to constantly air the room and use the air humidifier.

Nose partition mobility. This is a characteristic feature of a child who creates grunty sounds during breathing. With the development of the body, the infant partitions become stronger, and the grunt disappears.

Teething. This condition is often accompanied by the advent of a runny nose, subfebrile temperature and excessive saliva generation. After the appearance of the tooth is the selection and grunting sounds that accompany them, disappear.

Approximately 90% of cases of grunt, which is not accompanied by the appearance of nasal discharge, is due to one or more of the above reasons. However, in 10% of situations, this symptom speaks of pathologies. In such cases, it will not be possible to do without medical care.

Pathological reasons

To abnormal factors that provoke the emergence of this clinical picture, the following can be attributed:

Clinical picture

The presence of other symptoms may indicate the development of hazardous complications. This is the basis for a detailed examination. Additional manifestations include the following:

increasing temperature;

baby sleep disorder;

increased anxiety;

loss of appetite;

intestinal disorders;

general weakness;

sneezing;

rash on the skin.

All listed symptoms indicate the development of infectious pathologies. The reason for their appearance can be a different illegal. Without the appropriate examination, it is not possible to determine the provoking factor.

Most often, such manifestations indicate bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, Larygitis. They can also talk about the development of diphtheria, cough, measles and other dangerous violations. Even with small suspicions of an unfavorable outcome should be referred to an experienced doctor.

How to Clean the Nose Baby - Dr. Komarovsky

What to do if the child grunts his nose

What to do when this symptom appears? This question is worried about many parents. If the cause of the grunt is physiological factors, no specific measures are required. The kid is necessary every day to wash the nose with saline. Also for this purpose, the remedy based on sea water - Akwaror, Aquamaris, Salin.

Transparent discharges provoked by an allergic reaction or viral infection should be removed by means of a special aspirator or a syringe. Perform the procedure must be extremely careful until the nasal moves are completely cleaned. The nose should be periodically cleaned with a saline solution.

To carry out the manipulation, the soft tip of the aspirator is introduced into the nasal opening, and the opposite is placed in the oral cavity and the air is drawn. Due to the occurrence of pressure, the snot penetrate into the tube.

Green or yellow discharges indicate a bacterial origin of the ailment. As a rule, they are characterized by an increase in body temperature, cough, impairment of well-being. Purulent inflammation should be treated under the control of the doctor.
