Patient's question:
The baby is less than seven months old, and the past two days, there has been mucus in her nose. What should I do? (She doesn't want to take medicine.) She makes a snoring sound while breastfeeding, and sometimes it forms a lump in her nostril. I give her a drop of warm water, but how can I make it better?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a stuffy nose. Please pay attention to whether there is choking or burping, etc. Except after a cold, a stuffy nose can be relieved by applying a warm towel to the root of the nose. If the effect is not significant, you can drip two drops of milk during feeding (be careful not to choke the baby), then pinch the nose, and the mucus will dissolve. Use a cotton swab to gently remove the mucus. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby, who is not yet seven months old, has a stuffy nose in the past two days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
