Why is my baby breathing rapidly and wheezing?

It is very common for babies to breathe rapidly and wheeze, but don't worry, it may be due to lack of calcium supplementation during pregnancy. Or the dosage of calcium supplement is not right, which leads to tracheal softening due to the lack of trace elements, especially calcium, after the child is born. Difficulty breathing, similar to cat wheezing, etc. I can understand that many mothers are worried about their children. Below, the editor will explain to you what happens when a baby breathes rapidly and wheezes.

Generally speaking, a baby's fever usually occurs due to inflammation, but a fever after vaccination may also be caused by a vaccine reaction. If the baby's fever is over 38 degrees, it is best to do a blood test to see whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection, and then symptomatic treatment can be given. If the baby has a fever, you can take some antipyretics, such as Anrique or ibuprofen granules. Pay attention to giving the baby more warm water, keep warm, and perform physical cooling at the same time. If the fever persists for too long and does not subside for a long time, you must go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

If a newborn has shortness of breath, you need to pay attention to whether there are any lesions in some parts of the baby. There are many reasons why a newborn may have shortness of breath, so if you don't pay attention to it, it may endanger your baby's life.

1. When a newborn has shortness of breath, in addition to excluding the possibility of congenital immature lung development, the first thing to do is to determine whether it is a respiratory infection. This may be caused by the incomplete development of the larynx and laryngeal bones in the newborn, or it may be caused by summer clothing, obstruction, foreign body interference in the respiratory tract, or it may be caused by viral infection.

2. Laryngeal edema. This is an acute, allergic vocal cord edema, mostly caused by seafood, medicine or bee stings. It has nothing to do with physical constitution and is often accompanied by respiratory tract edema.

3. Premature respiratory distress syndrome. If the baby is born within 34 weeks, the lungs may not be fully developed and the baby may suffer from premature respiratory distress syndrome.

4. Neonatal pneumonia causes sepsis and respiratory distress.

5. Congenital structural abnormalities: such as abnormal vascular structure that compresses the respiratory tract and causes esophageal obstruction; or congenital abnormalities of the trachea.

6. Diaphragm disease: such as diaphragmatic hernia caused by lung hypoplasia.

Through the editor's article, everyone understands that mothers can rest assured when their babies breathe rapidly and wheeze. Since the respiratory center of the newborn is not yet sound enough, the breathing frequency will be irregular, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow. This phenomenon is particularly obvious after falling asleep and is a normal phenomenon. So don’t worry too much, it’s good to know the reason. I hope the editor’s article can help everyone.
