Most often, nasal congestion is the first sign of a child’s illness. This may be a reaction to a viral infection, if the baby has contracted the flu or a respiratory viral infection, or a bacterial infection. Hypothermia in itself does not cause disease.

Viruses and infections appear in the nose when inhaled and invade the cells of the nasal mucosa. The body, reacting to the invasion, at first sharply narrows the vessels, so there is a feeling of dryness, burning, and then the vessels dilate, the mucous reddens, inflamed. This leads to a narrowing of the nasal passages, difficulty breathing. There are nasal discharge.
