Patient's question:
The newborn baby has already started showing symptoms of nasal congestion on the third day of birth, and it can be seen that there is nasal mucus in the nose. The congestion is relieved at night, but there is difficulty breathing, and sometimes the baby breathes through the mouth. Now it is the sixteenth day, and a nasal aspirator can extract thick, yellow mucus every day. What should be done in this situation, and what could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to communicate with you. Based on your description, it's possible that the baby's condition is due to stomach issues. I suggest giving the baby more water, paying attention to the indoor temperature and humidity, and ensuring a light diet for the mom. If necessary, take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. The above advice is for the issue "Newborn baby starting to have nasal congestion on the third day of birth," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
