If the nostrils are blocked by foreign objects, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of clean water to gently remove the secretions in the nasal cavity. Be gentle. Never push the foreign object inside, and take your baby to the hospital to ask the doctor to remove the foreign object from the nose.

In addition, you can also apply a warm towel to the base of the nose to relieve nasal congestion. If your baby's nostrils are blocked by mucus and affecting his breathing, you can use a nasal exhaler to help the baby suck out the mucus.

1. Do not use nasal drops when the baby has a stuffy nose. Because the medicine for nasal ventilation contains ephedrine, the medicine will be swallowed by the baby when the medicine is dripped because the nasopharynx is connected. Once ephedrine is absorbed by the baby's body, it will produce certain toxic side effects. Therefore, young parents should not use nasal drops on their babies.

2. Do not use hard objects or hands to pick your baby's nose. Because the baby's nasal cavity is not yet fully developed, the nasal cavity is small, and the nasal wax is rich, picking the baby's nose with your hands or hard objects is likely to damage the baby's nasal mucosa and cause nose bleeding. If bacteria enter the nasal cavity, it can also cause respiratory infections.
