Rhinitis in neonates is easy to diagnose - it manifests itself as well as in adults: shortness of breath, "sobbing and" gurgling "in the nose, sneezing, the baby breathes with his mouth. The main feature of the course of the disease is that the newborns can not cleanse the nose of the accumulated mucus - they can not blow their nose out. Therefore, parents should clean the nose of the accumulated mucus with their own hands. This can be done with the help of special wadded flagella and / or microclysters - just suck off the mucus periodically.

Folk remedies
With folk remedies, one must be extremely cautious - something that is great for older children( even from 12 months old) and adults, categorically can not fit babies. The most effective folk prescriptions for treating a common cold in newborns are:
- Kalanchoe juice - it must be diluted 1: 1 with water, instilled one drop at each nasal passage. At the same time, immediately after the instillation procedure, the child should be taken in his arms and given him a vertical position - there will come a period of active sneezing and removal of accumulated mucus. Important: this recipe can be used no more than 1 time per day, so choose the time when the baby becomes very difficult to breathe.
- Aloe juice. Treatment of the common cold of aloe in children needs to start by ripping the leaves of the plant and taking them to a dark and cool place for 2-4 hours. Then cut the leaf and squeeze the juice out of it, dilute it in a 1: 1 ratio. Bury the received means of the newborn can be 2-3 times a day for 1 drop. Aloe vera juice has an excellent / powerful anti-inflammatory effect, so it can be used only if an infectious form of the common cold has been diagnosed, but not allergic, for example. Important: If the leaves of aloe are used immediately after tearing and the juice is not diluted with water, it may cause redness of the nose, itching and other allergic reactions to the plant.
Please note: many parents are confident that if you dig in the cold with breast milk, it will greatly accelerate the recovery process. In fact, this is an erroneous opinion - the mother's milk, getting into the baby's nose, creates the most favorable environment for the development and spread of the infection.
