Why do newborns have so much boogers?

Question 1: The child is now 65 days old and has had boogers in his nose since birth. It wasn\’t serious in the early stage, but it started to become more serious in the second month. After two or three hours of cleaning, it was completely clogged again. Is this condition classified as rhinitis? Is intervention needed? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: There are more nasal secretions. This is normal because secretions also have a moistening and protective effect on the nasal cavity. You can spray your baby\’s nose with saline four or five times a day, and clean out the boogers after spraying. Allergic rhinitis generally has a family history of inheritance, and symptoms include itchy nose, sneezing, nose rubbing, and excessive runny nose. Easily affected by the external environment, symptoms will be obvious after exposure to allergens. Your baby does not have rhinitis, as long as you pay attention to daily care. Question 2: My baby is more than ten months old and has atrial septal defect in his heart. He has had trouble drinking milk since he was a child. He has difficulty swallowing and chokes on water easily. I have recently had a cold and it has become more difficult to drink milk, and my throat feels concave when I take a deep breath. Ask how to do? Dr. Yuan Yunlong answered: The baby has an atrial septal defect in the heart, which will increase oxygen consumption and cause forced breathing when feeding. As some babies grow older and become more active, their hypoxia will become more apparent. It is recommended to go to the cardiac surgery department of Children\’s Hospital for consultation. If necessary, surgical treatment is required. If your baby coughs after drinking water, you can use a spoon to feed him water, and be careful to prevent aspiration pneumonia. Strengthen daily care. Common colds and fevers will increase the burden on the heart. Question 3: My girl is 7 years old. She has small protruding pimples on her eyebrows, cheeks, and arms on both sides of her face. The child has had them since she was a child. They are neither painful nor itchy. The child\’s grandmother and father also have it. They get red when the weather is hot, and it\’s more serious in spring. In other seasons, it\’s not very red, but it doesn\’t go away. Does this situation require treatment? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: The child\’s condition is a dominant hereditary skin problem, which can be treated and belongs to the category of beauty. You can go to the beauty department of a large hospital to see it.
