Accepted Answer

Enlarged adenoids can cause nasal blockage, snoring, breathing difficulties, restless sleep, and even mouth breathing, which can affect your child's overall well-being. Since your baby is having difficulty sleeping due to a blocked nose, it's important to manage the condition properly.

How Serious is It? If the nose blockage is severe and affecting sleep and breathing, it needs medical attention. Long-term issues may include frequent infections, ear problems, and speech delays. If it’s mild to moderate, home remedies and medications can help. Home Remedies to Help with Nasal Blockage

2️⃣ Saline Nasal Drops – Clears nasal passages (use as per doctor's advice).
3️⃣ Elevate Head While Sleeping – Slightly raise the mattress or pillow to reduce congestion.
4️⃣ Keep Room Air Moist – Use a humidifier to prevent dryness.
