Ways to prevent stuffy nose in children
Stuffy nose in children is common, especially during the autumn and winter months. It usually occurs when they are suffering from the flu or rhinitis. A stuffy nose does not happen due to the excess mucus present in the nose but, instead, due to the inflammation of the nose’s blood vessels.
If left untreated, the congestion might also lead to infections in the respiratory tract or the ear canal.
You may consider the following interventions on the first signs of a stuffy nose to prevent it from worsening.

Give them plenty of fluids
Try hot showers or regular steaming to relieve congestion
Use nasal sprays on the advice of a doctor
Prevent allergic congestions by giving them antihistamines prescribed by a doctor
Offer your child hot beverages such as soups, milk, or chicken broth
Prevent exposure to respiratory irritants such as tobacco smoke, kitchen smoke, automobile exhaust, dust, pet dander, and pollen
Get regular childhood vaccinations
