Question

How to handle a newborn with nasal congestion and ear scratching?

Answer

You can try dropping fish glycerin to soften the nasal mucus, then gently use a nasal aspirator to suction it out, or let the baby expel it naturally. If the condition persists, it is recommended to bring the baby to an otorhinolaryngology physician for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to ensure the baby gets plenty of fluids and to pay attention to the diet to help the baby recover sooner.
