At the hospital, they told me to continue wiping with a cotton swab about once an hour, but because the cotton swab is thin, it doesn't remove foreign substances very well.
So, I used a cotton pad I had at home and moistened it with saline solution and wiped it
. Is there any danger? Rather, I was worried that it would irritate the mucous membrane and cause further swelling due to its large size, and whether it would be okay.
