Question
Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of mucus in my baby’s nose, causing difficulty in breathing. It’s visible to the naked eye, and the baby often breathes through the mouth. I’ve tried to clear it by hand, but was told that this might harm the baby. I need appropriate assistance to solve this problem.
Answer
You can use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to gently clean the mucus. For mucus near the nostrils, you can use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to remove it. If the mucus is deeper in the nasal cavity, there is no need to clean it specifically; it usually comes out on its own when the baby cries or burps. These are suggestions for handling “how to deal with mucus in a baby’s nose.” I hope this helps, and wish your baby good health!
