Why is my baby having trouble breathing?

Babies are the apple of every family's eye. When the baby has some problems with his body, parents will be very worried. Many parents have encountered the problem of their baby having difficulty breathing. There are many reasons for this situation. Many times it is caused by a cold and nasal congestion. Of course, there are some other reasons. So why is the baby having difficulty breathing?

The nasal cavity is the main channel for babies to breathe. It can moisten and filter the inhaled air and maintain body health. However, babies are prone to the following nasal congestion conditions, which lead to breathing difficulties.

First, let me introduce you to nasal congestion caused by colds, which is also the most common problem! Because the baby's body temperature regulation center is not fully developed, the nasal mucosa is tender and weak, and the respiratory tract defense is poor, it is easy to catch a cold, and then the nasal mucosa will suffer from acute edema, causing nasal congestion.

Symptoms: nasal congestion and runny nose, slightly red sides of the nose, and sometimes accompanied by fever.

Prevention and control measures:

1. About half a month after the baby is born, start to supplement cod liver oil in moderation; start to add complementary foods at 4 months and supplement vitamin A. You can feed some liver puree, carrot puree, and vegetable puree to enhance the defense ability of the respiratory tract.

2. When using air conditioning, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large. The baby's room should be around 28 to 30 degrees Celsius.

3. Use a warm, wet towel to apply heat to the baby's nose (not too hot), twice a day, each time for about 15 minutes.

The above is a brief introduction about why babies have difficulty breathing. I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of this issue now. If you find that your baby has difficulty breathing, you should take the baby for a detailed examination in time. For the health of your baby, you must pay attention to it.
