What is the reason for the sticky, yellow, and bloody mucus in a newborn's nose?

Patient's question:

The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I was wondering what could be causing the newborn's nasal discharge to be thick, yellow, and streaked with blood?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation should be caused by a secondary infection following a cold. Antibacterial medication combined with pediatric cold treatment can be applied. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding irritant factors.
Pediatric ear, nose, and throat diseases can pose significant harm to patients. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Appropriate exercise is allowed in daily life, but be mindful of preventing "overheating" (excessive internal heat). We hope the child can recover quickly!
