Suggest Remedy For Running Nose In A 3 Year Old

My 3 year old grandson has had a runny nose (mostly the right nostril) for several months now. Because of his age he can t blow his nose and therefore the mucus builds up in his nostril causing crusting and very large boobies . The mucus is mostly dark yellow and sometimes green. What can this be due to?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... as you have told an important point about one sided nasal discharge - I suggest that it could be a - foreign body in the nostril which is a strong possibility keeping in mind the age of the kid and also the unilateral occasional purulent discharge.

I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room or an ENT surgeon regarding this.
