Babies often have weak self-care abilities due to their young age, so parents often need to worry more, especially when the baby is sick. Parents need to pay more attention to their needs in order to handle related issues well. For example, babies often have a buildup of secretions in their nasal cavity, but they cannot clean them up on their own. At this time, parents need to help, so how can babies suck out their nasal mucus?
If there is nasal mucus in the baby's nasal cavity, it can be uncomfortable if mild, and difficult to breathe if severe, so it is important to clean it up in a timely manner. The first method is to apply some sesame oil to the baby's nose if the secretions are hard, so that the secretions do not stick to the nasal hair as much as possible. This way, during cleaning, the nasal hair will not be pulled out and cause pain. The second method is to apply a warm towel to the baby's nose first, soften the secretions inside the nose with heat, and if necessary, repeat the application several times, making it easier to clean.
After the above pre-treatment, you can gently pick it out with a fine cotton swab. When operating, be careful not to stretch it too far inside to avoid damaging the nasal cavity. If the baby's nasal discharge is quite viscous, you can roll a tissue into a small roll, insert it into the nose and spin it a few times, and the secretion will be carried out. In short, all actions should be gentle and patient.
