Patient's question:
Not hot, no cough, just nighttime nasal congestion for 6 days. Hello, do you have any good suggestions? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Examination, test results: What kind of assistance is needed: Advice from a pediatric expertDoctor's answer:
Is there nasal mucus blocking the nostrils? If so, you can try using a cotton swab dipped in warm water to apply it inside the baby's nose. Once the mucus softens, you can use a dry cotton swab to gently remove it, or it may come out on its own when the baby burps.Medical Advice: After applying, the child's forehead and bridge of the nose may appear red for a while, but this is normal and there's no need to worry. Once the baby wakes up, the small nose will feel much better.
Care Tips: Please check if your baby is experiencing reflux. Due to underdeveloped esophageal sphincters in infants, milk may flow back when they lie flat. It may also flow through the trachea and out of the mouth or nose. If it blocks the respiratory tract, it may lead to breathing difficulties again~
