Question

My child is almost 20 months old, and he always has mucus in his nose, which is either yellow or white. The handkerchief can’t wipe it out. Can you often use cotton swabs to clean it? And is it harmful to push the mucus out by inserting the cotton swab into the nostrils?

Answer

Hello, considering this situation, it might be due to rhinitis or sinusitis, which can cause runny nose. It is recommended to seek medical treatment with medication. Using cotton swabs can easily damage the nasal mucosa and cause bleeding. You can take Xingqin Granules and Amoxicillin Granules for treatment.
