Question
My child is almost 20 months old. His nose is always full of mucus, which is either yellow or white, and wiping it with a handkerchief doesn’t help. Can I use cotton swabs to clean it regularly? And by that, I mean inserting the swab into the nostril to push the mucus out. Will this damage my child’s delicate nasal passages?
Answer
Hello, your child’s situation may be due to allergic rhinitis or sinusitis. Frequent nasal discharge may require medication. Using cotton swabs can easily damage the nasal mucosa and cause bleeding. It is recommended to treat your child with Sinopharm Qingfei Pill and Amoxicillin Tablets.
