blocked Nose

I'm not even 3 weeks old and fell sick already!?

Got seriously blocked nose yesterday and my parents brought me to the doc.
Doc said there're big lumps of dried mucus in my nose but mine's not an extremely bad case.

My mummy did try to clean my nostrils with
Pigeon's cotton swabs
(choose the one with extra thin stem, thinner than those in the picture, for tiny nostrils)

but she couldn't get much out from my nostrils since the mucus were deep inside.


So Doc used a nasal spray on me and a mucus suction machine! to suck out my mucus.

I screamed and cried so badly.
My parents and korkor looked on, feeling heartache for me.
My korkor shook his head several times.

this is the nasal spray I use:

Sterimar Nasal Hygiene
an isotonic* filtered sea water solution
(*Isotonic solution: a solution that contains the same concentration of salt that of the human body cells)

When using at home, no suction is needed.
The solution will just flow out or flow back into my system.
Doc said she had to use the suction machine on me cos I had too much mucus.

One good news from the visit to the doctor's: I put on almost a 1kg since birth!

Oh. and I can finally sleep properly after all the mucus are cleared.

One other thing we learnt:
Doc said sometimes when Mummy eats food that is too heaty, it will cause my mucus to be thick.
Any1 can verify this?

I also have a super big ulcer on my tongue, deep in.
Cause is unknown and Doc said it's unusual for babies this young to have such ulcers.
Now Mummy thinks maybe it's the heaty food she took that cause my ulcer.

Yesterday my korkor saw the doc too cos his voice was hoarse and had been having cough.
Mummy also suspect that it's her heaty milk that caused him to cough.
Now that I'm having ulcer, Mummy dare not give him her milk, for fear of contamination.
What to do with the extra milk now?
