Nose bump is the scab of nasal mucus. A baby's nose is very small, so when there is nasal mucus, it cannot be cleaned up in time, and over time it becomes nose bump. Adults with nasal congestion will directly use their hands to remove it, but babies have small noses. If you directly use your hands to remove them, it is easy to injure the baby's nose. So, how to pick up a baby's nose?
If a baby has a nose bump, it is still not possible to directly pick it out. It is recommended to soak the baby's nose bump in water or lubricating oil first, and then use a small cotton swab to pick it out after the baby's nose bump softens. If the baby's nasal discharge is nasal and thick, it can be directly removed with a cotton swab, but be careful not to harm the baby.
If the baby is relatively young, it is recommended to pick their nose while they are sleeping, so that they will not move around and will be safer. Of course, if you feel that using cotton swabs is unsafe, you can also purchase a baby specific nasal suction tool. But before using this tool, it is also necessary to soak the nose first.
In general, when a baby's nose is dry and hard, it cannot be directly removed as it can cause significant damage to the baby's nose. Whether using a cotton swab or a nasal cannula to clean the baby's nasal mucus, it is necessary to first soak it in water to avoid damaging the baby's nasal mucosa when tearing.
