my 11 month baby had a very sudden attack of pain in his nose area. was rubbing his nose & in a lot of pain & distress. thick white muscus came out of his nose... i tried to wash the area to see what if there was anything there. 5 minutes later he seems fine. I m thinking that maybe something got up his nose, but can the nose produce lots of white mucus very suddenly?
Hello, I think you are right to consider that something got up in his nose. Yes, little noses still can produce lots of mucous even over a short period of time. Other things to consider - did he get close to a plant/flower/outside and get a sniff of pollen that caused his to itch and sneeze out a mucous glob? In general, if it is gone, its gone and you don't have to worry. If something is stuck up there you should continue to see mucous that will become very smelly and gray. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
