Is infant nasal mucus more viscous than adult nasal mucus?

Patient's question:

My baby has been like this since birth, and now they're over a year old. The nasal discharge comes out in chunks. When I break it up with my fingers, it feels very sticky and fine, but it's different from an adult's. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

The child has been alive for over a year since birth. The nasal mucus is in clumps, and the child also has some stomach upset. It is recommended to drink more water. The room should be ventilated frequently. Do not let the child dirty their hands and rub their nose. Develop good hygiene habits. Also, do not dress the child in too many layers, as it is easy to catch a cold. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Is infant nasal mucus more viscous than adult nasal mucus?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
