Patient's question:
The baby is three months old, and there is a lot of mucus in their nose every day. What could be the reason? It's not cold when they sleep. With so much mucus inside, I feel the baby is very uncomfortable. They can't sneeze it out, and even the Pampers brand nasal aspirator I specifically bought can't reach it. It's been several days, and I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Actually, there's no need to deliberately handle it in a certain way; it will fall off on its own. You can use a cotton swab dipped in water and twist it in the child's nasal cavity to remove it. There's one thing to note: if there isn't a lot of nasal discharge and it's not affecting breathing, there's no need to manually remove it; it will naturally fall out. Be careful not to hurt the baby's nasal cavity. It may lead to rhinitis later in life.
