What should I do if my baby has nasal mucus?

If there is booger in the baby's nose, it will directly affect his normal breathing, so parents will of course be more nervous when facing this situation. So how should they solve the problem when there is booger in the baby's nose! Below I will introduce to you in detail the methods of coping and solving these problems. I hope every parent and friend can have a scientific understanding of this.

Observe whether the baby's nasal congestion is serious and treat it accordingly. Children have narrower upper respiratory tracts than adults, so they mainly breathe through their noses. Children have weaker resistance and are better at preventing infection. You can hold the baby's head, use a cotton swab dipped in warm water, and gently remove the secretions. Be sure to be gentle to avoid damaging the mucous membrane and causing bleeding.

You can also use one or two drops of breast milk or warm water to apply to the nasal cavity. When the secretions soften, you can use cotton thread to gently stimulate the nasal cavity and let the baby sneeze to expel the dirt. You can apply a small warm towel to the base of his nose to allow hot and humid air to enter the nostrils, which can relieve nasal congestion. Wash your baby frequently with a towel, and rub the dirty areas with your hands.

After all, babies are still young. If their breathing problems are affected, it will naturally bring more adverse harm to their health. Therefore, we hope that parents and friends can pay attention to these common sense, so as to effectively help babies reduce nasal congestion problems and ensure their health.
