my newborn's nose has been perpetually blocked for 2 weeks.
as above. went to pd twice to suck out the mucus. pd says it's a very common symptom for newborns. at home we have tried nasal spray, aspirator, iliadin. but her nose is still blocked (not completely clear). what should I do.
Oh dear, sorry to hear that! Sometimes there are just so many reasons why they could get sick/feel unwell, it's hard to pinpoint it especially when it comes to newborns because there's not much we can do for them :/ If it doesn't get in her way too much, don't worry too much about it! You can try to help her by seeing if the environment could be too stuffy/dusty/cold, but other than that I think just clean air circulation would help :) Other than that, you could probably keep the people and things around her regularly cleaned/sanitized just in case - because they get sick real quick so it'll probably be a good idea to pay more attention to hygiene and sanitation if you aren't already. If you are, then you're already doing a great job!
