Patient's question:
Recently, it has suddenly gotten very cold, and I feel like I'm about to freeze to death. Also, I've noticed that my child has been having a severe runny nose recently, and it's always clear mucus. I want to know what to do about a baby's clear runny nose?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can use a warm, damp towel to apply heat on the baby's nose for a steam bath. When applying heat, be gentle. If you notice nasal mucus in the baby's nostrils, you can first clean them with a cotton swab dipped in water. You can also gently massage the baby's nose or the sides of the nasal wings.Principle: When the nasal mucosa contracts due to heat, the nasal passage becomes more open, and thick nasal mucus is easier to hydrate and flow out.
