Can there be a runny nose with a teething?

It is very important not to confuse the signs of appearanceincisors with symptoms of ARVI. When teething the child's immunity decreases, against the background of his decrease, a runny nose, cough, a fever or a disorder of the stool may begin. The health of the child must be taken seriously. Symptoms when the runny nose is the norm: 1. Increased mucus secreted from the nose. 2. Absence of stagnation. 3. Runny nose is not strong and it lasts for three days. 4. The mucus is clear and liquid. The above symptoms appear due to the fact that in the process of eruption the blood circulation of the gums activates, which are anatomically closely related to the nasal mucosa. This leads to the active work of the glands and the release of mucus. But not always the appearance of the common cold can be associated with this process. Normally, the child should not have any side symptoms other than soreness of the gums. If a bad cold appears, nasal congestion is observed, and the mucus turns green or white, then you need to see a doctor. This is not a sign of teething, but it shows about ARVI.

What should I do if there is a runny nose?

Very often, you do not need anything. Runny nose will end after 3-4 days. But the secretions can be so abundant that they prevent the baby from breathing normally. In this case, you can take the following: 1. Rinse your nose and moisten the mucous membrane. The dried crust must be soaked and removed from the nasal cavity. Rinse the nose with saline, sea water or ordinary water, saline solution or any nasal drops. 2. Remove the mucus. Extra fluid can be removed with a pipette or aspirator. 3. Apply vasoconstrictor drops. If the runny nose does not go away after 6 days, then you need to contact the pediatrician. Vasoconstrictor drops should not be used more than this time. Runny nose in children up to a year is often associated with the appearance of teeth. This is not always the case, especially if the body temperature rises and a cough appears. In this case, we are talking about ARVI, because, against the background of a decrease in immunity, a child can easily get an infection. It is also useful to know:
