Newborns with boogers in the nose usually do not need to be cleaned up if they are small and do not affect breathing. However, if the boogers are large and affect the newborn’s breathing, you can use wet cotton swabs and wet towels to moisten the nasal cavity and clean it up.
1. If the boogers in the newborn’s nasal cavity are small and do not affect breathing, there is usually no need to take special ways to deal with them. The boogers will gradually fall off on their own as the newborn breathes, so parents do not need to be overly nervous and can observe the newborn’s physical condition at any time.
2. However, if the boogers of the newborn are large, they may block the nasal cavity, resulting in breathing difficulties for the newborn. If such a situation occurs, it is usually necessary to clean up the booger. You can choose wet cotton swabs and wet towels to moisten the nasal cavity and remove the booger after softening it. Parents should not pull out the boogers hard, so as not to cause rupture of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, resulting in nosebleed.
In daily life, parents should ensure that the skin of newborns is clean and dry. At the same time, keep warm to avoid the newborn getting cold.
