Sometimes babies who eat things that cause internal heat can develop illnesses such as coughing and runny nose. It is normal for babies to have nasal mucus in their nasal cavity, and everyone will have it. However, women need to handle it promptly. So, how should babies deal with nasal discharge?
1. For nasal mucus on the outer side of the nasal cavity, it can be gently cleaned with a cotton swab; If there is a lot of hard nasal discharge, then it is necessary to wet the nasal discharge with a cotton swab first, and then clean it with a cotton swab. There are also some nasal inhalers available on the market that can be used to clean nasal mucus. Be careful not to use cotton swabs too hard when cleaning nasal mucus, and do not penetrate too deep into the nasal cavity, otherwise it may cause injury and lead to nosebleeds.
2. When cleaning nasal mucus, babies may feel uncomfortable and even cry loudly. Therefore, mothers can clean it after their babies fall asleep to avoid causing harm to their nasal cavities. Mothers should also be aware that their baby's nasal cavity is relatively small and cannot be directly scratched with their hands, as it can cause damage to the nasal cavity.
3. If a baby's nasal discharge is not cleaned for a long time, it can easily cause itching and even respiratory problems, so mothers should clean it up in a timely manner. Winter is relatively dry, so mothers can put humidifiers in their rooms to keep them moist. This can also soften the dry and hard nasal mucus in babies.
