Causes of rapid breathing in newborns

Many parents will find that their newborns have rapid breathing in the first period of time after birth, which makes parents worried and afraid that various diseases will threaten their health. So in response to this question, the following is a detailed analysis and introduction to what the problem of rapid breathing in newborns is. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.

Babies' breathing and heartbeats are faster than adults', so there is no need to worry. Pay attention to your baby's sleeping position when he is sleeping. Also, don't cover him too thickly for fear that he will feel cold and have difficulty breathing.

Newborn babies are cute but also fragile, so parents need to be more careful when caring for them.

In life, newborn babies often show some strange behaviors, but parents must not ignore it, because there are often big dangers hidden behind these small problems, which are the baby's instinctive distress signals. Here, let’s talk about the problem of shortness of breath in newborns.

If a newborn has rapid breathing, in addition to excluding the possibility of congenital immature lung development, we should suspect the possibility of upper or lower respiratory tract infection.

Upper respiratory tract infection: Babies’ upper respiratory tract diseases may be caused by incomplete development of the larynx and larynx, or by factors such as upper respiratory tract stenosis, obstruction, and foreign body inhalation. In addition, it may also be caused by viral infections, such as croup.

Next, it could be laryngeal edema. Experts say: Laryngeal edema is an acute allergy, that is, an acute, allergic vocal cord edema, mostly caused by seafood, medicine or bee stings, and has nothing to do with physical constitution, and is often accompanied by respiratory tract edema.

I hope that after reading the common sense introduced above, everyone can pay attention. For newborns, no matter what physical conditions they have, parents should pay attention to them. If they don’t know the real reason, they should take them to the hospital for examination in time to avoid more diseases.
