Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what the reason is, but I've noticed that my baby's nose always has a lot of boogers. It's so noticeable that they've piled up all the way to the outermost part of the nostrils. Also, I've seen the baby always breathing with wide-open mouth, as if it's having difficulty breathing. At first, I tried to pick out the boogers with my hands, but my mom said that's not a good idea, as it's easy to hurt the baby.What kind of help I need: Could you please advise on what to do when a one-year-old baby has boogers in their nostrils?
Doctor's answer:
The baby's nose always has a lot of snot, as if it's having difficulty breathing. You can use a cotton swab to help the baby clean the snot a few times. The snot is at the nostril, use a baby small head cotton swab dipped in warm water to remove the snot. If the snot is deeper inside, be careful not to use anything to remove it. It doesn't need to be removed, the baby can cry or burp it out. The above is advice for the question "What should I do if there is snot in the baby's nose?" I hope it helps you, wish you health!
