Hello! The baby is 3 months old and has a cough and a runny nose. Is it harmful to frequently clean the nose with an aspirator?

Hello! Frequent nasal cleaning with an aspirator can irritate the delicate mucous membranes of a baby's nose. It is recommended to use the aspirator only when necessary, for example, when mucus severely impedes breathing or feeding. In other cases, saline solution or nasal drops based on sea water can be used to moisturize and clean the nose. If cough and runny nose worsen or do not subside within a few days, it is advisable to consult a doctor for advice and treatment.

If there is no damage to the mucous membrane, then there is nothing harmful. If you are afraid, you can use a bulb syringe to remove mucus. There are different types of aspirators, which one do you have?

Our ENT doctor said that for daily cleaning, the Otrivin Baby Comfort nasal aspirator is suitable. The electronic one sucks too strongly. But with this one, you need to use it slowly and carefully. And of course, before using the aspirator, use a saline solution.
