Patient's question:
The child is almost 20 months old, and he always has a lot of mucus in his nose, which is either yellow or white. Handkerchiefs can't remove it. Can cotton swabs be used frequently to clean it? And by pushing the cotton swab into the nostril to squeeze out the mucus, will this damage the child's small nostrils?Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is worth considering that this condition may be caused by rhinitis or sinusitis. It can lead to a runny nose. It is recommended to use medication, as using cotton swabs can easily damage the nasal mucosa and cause bleeding. You can take Xinqin Granules and Amoxicillin Granules for treatment.
