Question
Newborn nasal congestion without mucus?
Answer
In this case, the newborn may have nasal congestion but may not be visible due to their small nasal passages. Nasal congestion could be caused by fever, cold, or nasal trauma. It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to determine the cause of the baby’s condition under medical guidance. For smaller babies, warm compresses on the nose root can be tried to relieve nasal congestion. However, if the symptoms do not subside, it is important to take the baby to the hospital for examination promptly to determine the cause.
