Question
My baby is currently 91 days old with congenital nasal duct obstruction and I want to take them to the children’s hospital for a nasal duct dilation. Should it be done after the baby is 3 months old or 4 months old? How much does a nasal duct dilation procedure typically cost?
Answer
Dear friend, in this situation with your child, if the nasal duct obstruction is congenital, it’s important to consider the severity of the symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, it’s recommended to wait until the child is a bit older before undergoing surgery. If the symptoms are quite severe and the baby often has tears, consider a puncture tube dilation procedure. If the symptoms are not too severe, the dilation will be relatively simple and the cost won’t be high.
