What to do when your baby picks his nose

In life, many young parents always wonder about the nasal secretions of their babies. Children are particularly prone to nasal mucus. Some friends even like to pick their children's nasal mucus frequently, but they don't know that this can cause great harm to the child's nasal cavity. The following article will introduce it to you.

The nasal mucosa of children has more blood vessels and secretions than adults. In addition, the nervous system's regulatory function on nasal mucosal secretion and ciliary movement is not yet fully developed. Children are not good at wiping their noses by themselves, so they often have clear nasal discharge. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry.

You can also try these methods:

1. If it is snot, you can use a nasal aspirator; if it is dry nasal mucus, you can buy a small plastic clip with a small round head. Wait until the baby falls asleep and do it quickly and gently. It is very easy to use.

2. Use absorbent cotton to rub into a cotton strip the same size as the baby's nostrils. Soak it in water and put it into the baby's nostrils to moisten the mucus. Then use a dry cotton strip to stick the mucus out.

3. Put a drop of cod liver oil or saline solution in each nostril. This will soften the nasal mucus, and after a while the child will sneeze out the nasal mucus.

4. Placing a humidifier in the air-conditioned room at night can increase the indoor humidity and relieve children's nasal congestion caused by dry air.

The above is an introduction to picking the baby's nose. In daily life, if there is too much nasal mucus in the child's nasal cavity, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water to clean it. Do not pick the child's nose too often, as this will cause rhinitis and other problems in the child.
