What should I do if my baby has nasal mucus?

The main reason why babies have nasal mucus is because they have a fever or rhinitis, so mothers should check the cause of nasal mucus in their babies' nostrils. And you all know that there is a situation where babies have nasal mucus in their nostrils. We recommend that you use a wet towel to promote the baby's sneezing, so that the mucus can flow out, which can avoid damage to the nasal cavity.

You can drop some sesame oil in your baby's nose. It is best to let the baby sneeze out the snot in his nose. Do not blindly use things to pick the snot out of his nose, as this will hurt his nasal cavity. If your baby has nasal mucus, it is best to wait until the baby falls asleep, then use a thin cotton swab, wet it with water, and insert it into the baby's nostrils. First wet the nostrils with water, wait for one minute, and then use the cotton swab to get the mucus out.

First, cover the little nose with a warm, wet towel to soften the booger, then use a napkin to roll it into a thin stick and rotate it in the little nostrils. This will help the booger come out. This will also stimulate the little nose, causing it to sneeze and push the booger out. Or you can use a special baby cotton swab dipped in water and drip it into the baby's nostrils while he is feeding. After feeding, use two fingers to gently squeeze his nostrils from time to time. The booger will quickly slide to the opening of the nostrils, and then you can use a special baby cotton swab to wipe it out.

The baby's nasal bones are not fully developed, the nasal passages are short, and they are susceptible to infection. Once infected, it is easy to spread, so we should always pay attention to whether the child's nasal cavity is clean, and remember to wash it with clean water frequently. In winter, you can apply a small amount of glycerin to protect the nasal mucosa, and you should also do outdoor activities frequently to make the nasal mucosa stronger under the stimulation of cold air. If it looks like a clumping mass, you can use a nasal aspirator, which is quite useful and can be used when the baby is asleep. If it is dry, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water or moisturizing oil and rotate it in the nose.

The above is an article about the treatment method for nasal mucus in babies. I hope you can have a certain understanding of how to remove nasal mucus from babies’ nostrils in your life. As a mother, you should not touch your baby's nasal cavity with your hands easily, because the baby's nasal cavity is relatively fragile and can easily cause nasal infection.
