Question

What should be done when an 8-month-old baby always has clear nasal discharge?

Answer

Based on your description, it’s possible that the baby’s clear nasal discharge may be due to swelling of the nasal turbinates caused by respiratory infections, leading to intermittent symptoms of nasal congestion and discharge. To alleviate the nasal congestion, you can use a physiological saline spray at home. At the same time, it’s important to avoid letting the baby catch a cold repeatedly.
