What should I do if my baby makes phlegm sounds when breathing while sleeping?

Under normal circumstances, the baby's breathing sound is very small when sleeping, but if you find that the baby's breathing sound is louder when sleeping, and always feel that there is phlegm in the baby's throat, parents will definitely be very anxious, because this feeling is very uncomfortable. This may be caused by an infection in the baby's respiratory tract. It is necessary to closely observe whether there are other symptoms. The following is an introduction to the solution.

First, what should I do if my baby has phlegm when breathing while sleeping?

If your baby has phlegm in his throat and has difficulty breathing while sleeping, it should be a respiratory infection, cold or bronchitis. It is recommended to strengthen care to prevent nasal congestion. If your baby has a severe cough or is coughing up phlegm, you can take oral cough suppressants and expectorants. If you have significant difficulty breathing, go to the hospital.

Second, the baby always has phlegm in his throat. Is it a precursor to bronchitis or pneumonia?

When babies suffer from tracheitis or pneumonia, they will have phlegm sounds, but the presence of phlegm sounds does not mean bronchitis or pneumonia. Many babies, especially newborns, have wheezing sounds in their throats, or snore while sleeping, have heavy breathing, or even hoarse voices.

Third, there are two possibilities for this situation. One is respiratory tract infection caused by sputum.

One possibility is congenital laryngeal stridor, which is caused by low calcium in the mother during pregnancy and poor development of the baby's laryngeal cartilage. 1. To identify whether it is a respiratory tract infection or laryngeal wheezing, a doctor needs to listen to the doctor's stethoscope and, if necessary, a chest X-ray examination should be performed. 2. If the child has bronchitis, anti-inflammatory and expectorant drugs can be given. 3. If it is caused by laryngeal wheezing, this is not a big problem. Most children will recover on their own before the age of 2. At the same time, appropriate calcium supplementation will help recovery.

Fourth, in this case, it should be considered that the baby’s cold is not completely treated and caused by chronic pharyngitis.

This is an upper respiratory tract infection

Guidance:

Hello, it is recommended that you take antibiotics for five to seven days. At the same time, you must avoid sweet and cold foods and eat light meals to avoid throat irritation and aggravate coughing.

Fifth, when the baby exhales, you can hear a ringing sound from time to time, which may be a symptom of wheezing tracheitis.

Guidance:

There are many causes of asthmatic bronchitis. The most common causes may be viral infection or bacterial infection. It is also often related to physical constitution. People with allergic constitution are also prone to this situation. It is safer to try some promethazine.
