Why is my baby breathing heavily?

We all hope that our babies can grow up healthy and happy, but in the various processes of their growth, it is easy for them to develop some diseases or discomfort symptoms. So if you want to help them solve them effectively, you need to pay attention to distinguish and understand the causes of these problems, so that you can solve them in a targeted manner. What I will introduce to you below is the reason for the baby's heavy breathing.

Has your baby recently recovered from a cold? If so, it is very likely that he has not fully recovered. If he has not had a cold recently, you should closely observe whether your baby has symptoms such as sneezing and coughing, and whether he is wheezing while sleeping, which is an early sign of a cold.

It is recommended to keep warm as babies are very likely to catch a cold and have a stuffy nose when the weather gets cold. Wear thicker clothes and drink more water. If your baby also has coughing, sneezing, and fever, it means he has a cold. It is best to go to the hospital for a blood test and choose sensitive antibiotics for treatment based on the results.

If it is pneumonia, pay attention to correct care and the prevention and care methods of pediatric pneumonia.

Pneumonia in children is often caused by catching a cold (upper respiratory tract infection) after catching a cold, so parents should pay special attention to the following points:

1. Early spring is the season when colds are prevalent, so try to avoid taking your children to public places as much as possible.

2. If your child has a cold or cough and has one or more of the following symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately: breathing is faster than usual, more than 60 times per minute (for babies under 2 months old), or 50 times (for children 2-12 months old), or 40 times (for children 1-4 years old); breathing is loud; breathing is intermittent; chest cavity is sunken when inhaling; nostrils flare; humming sounds are made; inability to drink any liquid, and choking when drinking; skin is bluish purple.

3. Parents should give medicine to their children under the guidance of a doctor and not take medicine at will.

If we don't want our babies to be affected by some adverse effects or diseases, we should all focus on scientific and effective responses and solutions. Because the baby is still young, sometimes even when facing some diseases, we cannot use medicine blindly, because some medicines are prone to side effects, so the harm caused will be greater.
