We need to rely on our nose to breathe, and if there is a problem with our nose, it can affect our breathing. If you notice any problems inside your nose, you can use a nasal endoscope to observe. A nasal endoscope can provide a very clear view of the entire interior of your nose. Can babies get a nose mask?
Normally, babies can also undergo nasal endoscopy if they can adapt to it. Many babies have a lot of nasal secretions after catching a cold, and in this case, it is not suitable to do a nasal endoscopy. They need to treat the cold first and wait for the secretions inside the nose to be cleared before doing a nasal endoscopy examination.
When a baby undergoes a nasal endoscopy, the nasal mucosa may be stimulated, leading to mucosal edema. Increased secretion from the baby's nose can cause nasal congestion and runny nose, which is a normal phenomenon. Parents don't need to worry too much, as this situation won't last too long.
The hard tube used for nasal endoscopy is relatively thin and hard, and cannot be bent or folded. During the examination, it may cause injury to the baby's nasal mucosa, leading to pain or bleeding. Although nasal endoscopy is a bit painful, it can still be tolerated.
In order to prevent babies from feeling nervous during nasal endoscopy, it is important to educate them in advance and help them overcome psychological barriers as much as possible. During the examination, the doctor will use topical anesthetics on the nasal cavity and local constrictors to reduce sensitivity and alleviate pain in the nasal cavity.
