A member asked:
What can i do if i can't suction 9mo's nose? she's too forceful and i've bruised her nose twice (husband's away). will this cause ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal suction: You need to be carful not to use too much force to suck the mucus. Must install saline nose drops or spray before suction to loosen up the mucus, hold the child & be careful not to hurt the baby in the process. Ear infection can result from nasal congestion. Good luck
