What to do if your baby has nasal mucus

Having nasal mucus is a normal physiological phenomenon, and both babies and adults will have nasal mucus. But what should you do if your baby has nasal mucus? The baby's skin is relatively fragile, and if you use your hands directly, you may hurt the baby. However, if it is not handled in time, it may hinder breathing. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to deal with your baby's nasal mucus correctly. Take a look at the introduction below.

1. You can drop a small amount of cold boiled water or some anti-inflammatory nasal drops or eye drops into the nostrils. After it softens, use a cotton swab to gently rotate it in the child's nostrils. After a while, when the child sneezes, the booger will come out by itself.

2. You can gently pinch the outside of the baby's nostrils, and the mucus may fall off, or induce the baby to sneeze to clear it out.

3. First, cover the nose with a warm and wet towel to soften the booger, then use a napkin to roll it into a thin stick and rotate it in the nostrils to get the booger out.

4. You can use a cotton swab to dip some sesame oil and gently rotate it in the child's nostrils. After a while, when the child sneezes, the booger will come out by itself.

5. Families with the means can use ultrasonic atomization equipment or similar equipment that can produce water vapor. Let the water vapor be directed at the baby's nostrils, which can also help soften the nasal mucus.

Frequently picking your baby's nose can cause damage to the nasal mucosa, so it is not recommended to do so frequently. But if the baby has a lot of nasal mucus and has a blocked nose and can't sleep well, the mother can also consider picking his nose. But remember to dip the cotton swab in warm water (preferably boiled water) first, then dig gently, and never use force.

Therefore, when mothers are dealing with their baby's nasal mucus, they must pay attention to the method and not use their hands directly to avoid hurting the baby. What should I do if my baby has nasal mucus? I hope the above points are helpful to you. In addition, taking care of a baby is a science. New parents must learn from their predecessors and pay attention if they find their children's behavior is abnormal.
