Hi Doctor, My baby is a premature baby was in the hospital for almost 4 months. Right now she is 8 and half months old. I have observed nasal septum perforation( a hole) for her. We are giving her nebulizer every day. I am not sure if this hole is got created by nebulizer or the cpap and nasal canula made her. Please let me know what are the treatment options. thanks.
