Patient's question:
Baby is 15 days old. When sleeping, I feel that he has slightly difficult breathing, as if he has a stuffy nose. Upon close observation, it seems there are nasal discharge plugs deep in his nostrils. Sometimes he easily wakes up during sleep. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation you described, nasal congestion is a common condition. Since babies will not expel mucus on their own, it is recommended to use a soft-tipped clip to remove it. Currently, the baby lacks a sense of security, so it is important to ensure a quiet environment for deep sleep, preferably with the mother sleeping nearby. It is also advised to pay attention to proper feeding, timely vaccinations, and regular health check-ups.The baby easily wakes up during sleep. On one hand, this could be due to calcium deficiency. On the other hand, it may also be caused by poor breathing.
