When taking care of a baby, parents have encountered various problems, of course, some of which are still very tricky. Difficult problems can leave parents unsure of what to do, and at this point, parents urgently need to understand some correct ways to handle them. So, what should I do if there is a blockage of nasal mucus in the baby's nasal cavity?
It is indeed easy for foreign objects to appear in a baby's nasal cavity. Once there is nasal mucus blockage, the child needs to be placed on their side and a little water can be dripped into the baby's nasal cavity. However, it is best to use a dropper to avoid sending the water to other places, otherwise it will make the baby very uncomfortable.
You can also use a cotton swab to insert into the baby's nasal cavity and remove the blocked mucus. However, it is best to keep the cotton swab moist so that it is easier and more convenient to remove nasal mucus. One thing to pay special attention to is not to use too hard objects to reach into the baby's nasal cavity, as this can cause certain damage to the baby's nasal mucosa.
You can also massage the base of the baby's nose, but be sure to do it gently. This is mainly to induce the baby to sneeze, and after the baby sneezes, the nasal discharge will come out. Excessive nasal discharge can indeed have a certain impact on babies, causing discomfort. Parents need to handle it correctly.
