Patient's question:
Baby is almost 5 months old and has a stuffy nose. Can a nasal aspirator be used? I want to ask the doctor for some advice. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's best to use things like nasal aspirators sparingly to avoid damaging your baby's nasal mucosa. The baby's room must have good air circulation, with a temperature of 18-25°C and a humidity of 50-70%. Do not direct the airflow of fans or air conditioners directly at the baby. If the room is too dry, you can use a humidifier appropriately or place several cups of water in the room. For your baby's symptoms, this is classified as infant nasal congestion. If the baby does not show other symptoms, such as coughing or fever, there is no need to worry.
