Nose tweezers (round-tipped tweezers) are one of the tools used to clean nasal secretions in babies. However, pediatric guidance cautions: babies' nasal mucous membranes are very delicate and thin, so tweezers touching the membrane cause bleeding, irritation, and swelling—which makes breathing harder instead of solving the problem.
The safest method: nasal aspirator (with saline drops) + saline solution. First instill one or two saline drops, wait 30 seconds, then aspirate. If drainage is very thick and visible, you could gently remove only the outer portion with the tweezers after wetting the tip slightly with a little water vapor—but first make sure you can keep your baby's head still and never go inside the nose.
So in short: tweezers aren't the first choice, but saline solution + aspirator is. If you do use tweezers, only for dried secretions outside and very gently.
