This is a common condition in children caused by allergens like dust mites, pollen, mold, pet dander, or even sudden temperature changes.
Here are a few steps you can take:
Dust and Allergen Control: Make sure her bedding, curtains, and soft toys are dust-free. Wash them regularly in hot water. Avoid heavy blankets or carpets in her room.
Air Quality: Use an air purifier in her room, especially at night. Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons.
Steam Inhalation: Gentle steam before bedtime can help relieve nasal blockage.
Saline Nasal Drops: Safe and effective to clear a blocked nose, especially after waking up.
Avoid triggers: Note if symptoms worsen with certain foods, perfumes, or environments.
Since the symptoms are persistent, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or child allergy specialist. They might recommend an allergy test and prescribe antihistamines or nasal sprays if needed. Persistent allergies can affect sleep and concentration, so early management is helpful.
