What Is The Cure For Crusty Mucus On The Entrance Of Nasal Passage Of A 7 Year Old Which Is Reddish?
Hi there, My 7 year old son has developed crusty mucus at the entrance to the nasal passages. It is usually reddish in colour maybe from him picking it... This is the 2nd year in a row that it has appeared with the cold weather. His upper lip can look red at times and slightly swollen at these times also. I would like find a natural cure for this if possible. Thanks! Cathy

Hello. I just read through your question.
The application of vaselline or A&D ointment will help alleviate the problem and moisturize the area.
