Patient's question:
The newborn baby has already started showing signs of nasal congestion on the third day of birth, and it can be seen that there is nasal mucus in the nose. It improves at night, but there is difficulty breathing, and sometimes the baby breathes through the mouth. Now it is the sixteenth day, and a nasal aspirator can extract thick, yellow mucus every day. What should be done in this situation, and what could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to communicate with you. Based on your description, it's possible that the baby's condition is due to indigestion. I suggest giving the baby more water, paying attention to the indoor temperature and humidity, and the mom should maintain a light diet. If necessary, take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. The above suggestions are for the issue "Newborn baby starting to have nasal congestion on the third day after birth," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
