Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. How can I clean the baby's nasal mucus?Doctor's answer:
Cleaning a baby's nasal discharge is very simple. You can start by pouring hot water into a cup. The water shouldn't be too hot to avoid scalding the baby's skin—around 50 to 60 degrees Celsius is ideal. Place the cup near the baby's nose for about 2 to 3 minutes to let the steam soften the nasal discharge. Then, gently remove it with a cotton swab.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases can have a significant impact on patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized medical facility under the guidance of a doctor. Drinking more water and paying attention to their diet can also help. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
