Patient's question:
When cleaning the baby's nasal discharge for a 12-day-old, the cotton swab went deep into the baby's nostril, but the baby didn't cry, and there was no bleeding from the nostril. At that time, the baby was just moving randomly. In the afternoon, it seemed there were no abnormal reactions either. Since I don't understand the structure of the baby's nose, I don't know if I hurt the baby or if it will have any impact on the baby's health. Please help me answer this question from a doctor. Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
It won't harm any organs or parts, so you can rest assured. That's just some sensitive mucous membranes. If a cotton swab goes in, the worst that could happen is minor mucosal damage, but it won't affect any internal organs or organs. Based on the current situation, it should be mostly healed, and there should be no damage at all.
