What is the method of using a needle to clean the baby's nasal cavity?

The nostrils of a baby are very small and the baby's skin is very delicate, so if there is some dirt in the baby's nasal cavity, it is difficult to clean it out. This is also a headache for parents. Moreover, if the things in the baby's nasal cavity are not cleaned in time, it is likely to cause nostril blockage or nasal infection, etc. So the following will teach you how to use a syringe to clean the baby's nasal cavity.

How to clean your baby's nasal cavity with a needle:

First, observe whether the baby's nasal congestion is caused by nasal mucus or a cold. After confirming that the nasal cavity is blocked by nasal mucus, see if it affects the baby's normal breathing. If it does not affect the baby's normal breathing, there is no need to deal with it.

Before you start cleaning, you need to prepare everything. It is best to use cotton cloth as it is easy to absorb water. The syringe must be cleaned. Then pour boiling water into a small bowl and wait until the water has cooled down before using it.

Use a syringe to draw in cool water, let the baby lie flat on the mother, aim the syringe at the baby's nostrils, gently drop a drop of water in front of the baby's nostrils, gently lift the baby's head, let the water drop slide into the baby's nasal cavity, repeat on the other side, the water will soften the nasal mucus after entering the baby's nasal cavity.

Prepare another bowl of warm water, soak the small piece of cloth in the water, open it and place it on the baby's nose bridge, leaving the nostrils exposed. Leave it for about a minute, wait for the small piece of cloth to cool down, and then dip it in water again.

It will be enough to apply it on the nose bridge three or four times. After a few minutes, the booger will soften. Place a small cotton swab in front of the baby's nostrils to stimulate it, and the baby will sneeze, and the booger will come out together.

If you want to clean the snot in your baby's nose, you must first know what causes the snot in your baby's nose. If it is caused by a cold, the first thing to do is to cure the baby's cold. Otherwise, it will only treat the root cause and cannot completely clear the snot in your baby's nasal cavity. After the baby's cold is cured, parents can choose to gently insert a cotton swab into the baby's nose to wipe out the mucus in the baby's nasal cavity bit by bit, but this method is more troublesome and the cleaning is not particularly thorough.

In addition to the method of using a cotton swab to dip in snot as described above, parents can also use a syringe to clean the baby's nasal cavity. Of course, this syringe does not have a needle. Parents can first fill the syringe with water, and then quickly inject water into one of the baby's nostrils. The water flow will push out the snot in the baby's nasal cavity. It is very convenient, and the baby will not feel any discomfort, mainly because the two nostrils of a person are connected, so it will not cause any harm to the baby, but this method is only suitable for babies three or four years old.

The above is an introduction to what to do if there is snot in the baby’s nasal cavity. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. The snot in the baby’s nasal cavity is very easy to clean. The two methods introduced above are very helpful for cleaning the snot in the baby’s nasal cavity, but it is only suitable for slightly older babies. If the baby is only a few months old, do not use this method to clean the baby’s nasal mucus, because the nostrils of babies a few months old are very small, and using this method will cause harm to the baby.
