When new mothers take care of their babies, they often encounter unexpected problems, such as the baby's nose being blocked by nasal mucus. Mom must be very anxious when she sees her child feeling uncomfortable and wants to solve this problem quickly. So, what should we do if a child's nose is blocked by feces, and why do children experience such situations?
What to do if a child's nose is blocked by nasal discharge
It is normal for infants and young children to have secretions in their nasal cavity. When there is nasal discharge in the infant's nasal cavity, it is not advisable to directly press it with your hands, as it can easily damage the nasal mucosa. Apply hot compress around the baby's nasal cavity, or go to a maternity and baby store to buy some specialized nasal suction devices for the baby to suck out nasal mucus. You can also use a cotton swab to roll out the secretions; If there is a nasal scab, you can drop 1-2 drops of milk into the nasal cavity, rub the nose to soften the scab, and then roll it out or sneeze to expel it. You can also use physiological seawater to give your child a nose tip, which can improve the viscosity of nasal secretions and facilitate their discharge.
Why do young children experience nasal congestion caused by nasal discharge
Many babies may experience nasal mucus blocking their nose, and there are many reasons for increased nasal mucus in babies. Especially during infancy, due to the narrow nasal cavity, delicate nasal mucosa, and abundant blood supply, it is easy for babies to experience increased nasal mucus and nasal congestion when exposed to external environmental stimuli, allergic constitution to certain substances, and frequent choking on milk.
Infants and young children are very fragile, so they need meticulous care from parents. A single carelessness from a parent may cause harm to the baby. Many new mothers want to know what to do if their child's nose is blocked by nasal discharge. At this time, they can use hot compress to soften the nasal discharge, or use breast milk or saline solution to drip into the baby's nose and then clean the nasal discharge.
