Excessive nasal mucus in the nasal cavity can block the respiratory tract, causing poor breathing, especially for babies with small nasal cavities, which can often lead to nasal congestion. But as parents, I don't know how to clean up the nasal mucus in my baby's nose. So what should I do if there is nasal mucus in my baby's nose?
Be extra careful when cleaning the nasal mucus in a baby's nose, because after all, the baby's nose is not only very small, but also particularly delicate, which is prone to damage when exposed to external stimuli. When cleaning the nasal mucus, you can use a medical cotton swab dipped in warm water or mother's milk, and gently moisten the nasal mucus in the nasal cavity. Let the nasal mucus soften first, and then gently remove it.
Sometimes when a baby's nasal mucus is too deep, they cannot blindly use a cotton swab to pick up the mucus. Instead, they can gently disturb the baby's nasal opening with a cotton swab, which can cause itching and make the baby sneeze, and also expel the mucus with the airflow. If a baby frequently has excessive nasal discharge, parents must take it seriously. Firstly, it is necessary to check whether the indoor temperature and humidity are suitable, and avoid excessive dryness and high temperatures.
If the humidity in the baby's room is not enough, a humidifier can be used to humidify the air. And attention should be paid to fresh indoor air, avoiding excessive dust and other floating objects. So it is necessary to frequently open windows for ventilation to keep the air fresh. However, it is important to avoid exposing the baby to cold air and keep them warm while ventilating.
