What are the possibilities for a baby's breathing problems?

Babies have a very important position in a family. Every breath of the child concerns the whole family. Some new parents worry that the baby’s breathing may be bad, such as not smooth or regular! Especially the lack of smoothness makes the child's parents particularly worried. So, what are the possible reasons for a baby's poor breathing? Let me introduce you to a possibility, that is acute sinusitis and nasal congestion!

Repeated upper respiratory tract infections in babies can affect the sinus mucosa, causing it to become congested and swollen, with increased secretions, which can block the sinus openings and cause acute sinusitis. Symptoms: In addition to nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and mouth breathing, more serious symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, and irritability.

Prevention and control measures:

1. If your baby has a cold, you should actively seek treatment.

2. Once your baby has acute sinusitis, take him to an ENT doctor in time and choose antibiotics reasonably under the doctor's guidance to completely cure the disease and prevent recurrence.

3. If the baby has severe nasal congestion, you can use 0.5% ephedrine furacillin drops cautiously under the guidance of a doctor, one drop in each nostril 10 to 15 minutes before feeding, and it will usually take effect within a few minutes. However, ephedrine has side effects on babies and is not suitable for excessive or long-term use, so as to avoid causing atrophic rhinitis and affecting the olfactory sensitivity of the nose.

4. When your baby has a lot of purulent nasal discharge, you can ask the doctor to do replacement therapy to clear out the purulent secretions in the sinuses.

Therefore, if you think your baby’s breathing is not good and needs timely treatment, it is recommended that you observe first and then take the child to the hospital for treatment to avoid missing the best treatment time! Nowadays, every family is particularly concerned about the health of their children. In order to ensure the health of their children, they must make sure to go to the hospital when it is time!
