Question
How should I handle nasal mucus in a baby’s nostrils?
Answer
Firstly, the appearance of nasal mucus may be related to factors such as dry air, a cold, or heat. It is important to maintain an appropriate humidity and temperature indoors and to provide adequate hydration. You can first use a cotton swab dipped in water to soften the nasal mucus, then use a dedicated cotton swab to clear it from the baby. Regularly clean the nostrils and keep the indoor humidity and temperature stable to prevent heat and catching a cold. The mother should mainly consume light and easy-to-digest foods.
