Then the child is turned over to the other side, the drug is instilled into the second nostril, after a while the leaked contents must be wiped off. If the baby has already learned to blow his nose, you need to ask to do it, but only gently and without straining so that the infection does not penetrate further into the ear canals. During blowing one nostril must be clamped. A doctor should prescribe a specific flushing drug and dose.
