Why does the baby have difficulty breathing when sleeping?

Babies have relatively weak resistance, and some cold viruses can easily be transmitted to babies. When your baby has difficulty breathing while sleeping, you should pay attention, as it may be rhinitis or bronchitis caused by a cold. If your baby has a cold at this time, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately to avoid causing other unnecessary complications. Let’s learn in detail why your baby has difficulty breathing while sleeping.

Under normal circumstances, young children often make slight snoring sounds while sleeping. However, if you snore loudly continuously, it is abnormal and should be considered a medical condition, the most common of which is corpus callosum hypertrophy. When the temperature changes, malnutrition, decreased resistance or suffering from colds, tonsillitis, rhinitis, sinusitis can lead to hypertrophy of the proliferative body. The nasal condyle is too enlarged and blocks the posterior nostril, which not only blocks the drainage of nasal secretions but also blocks the air from entering and exiting the nasal cavity. After the child falls asleep, the gas exhaled from the trachea is forced to be exhaled from the mouth. Because the muscles of the whole body relax during sleep, the tongue also relaxes and falls into the pharynx, making the pharynx narrow and blocked.

Young children often breathe with their mouths open and are in an uncomfortable state during sleep. They do not get enough rest at night, are in poor spirits during the day, have poor appetite, and do not consume enough calories from food. This can also lead to delayed growth and development, with height and weight lower than normal children of the same age, and decreased body resistance. Therefore, these children are not only prone to respiratory tract infections, but also to pigeon chest, funnel chest, and even cor pulmonale.

Why does my baby have difficulty breathing when sleeping? Parents can take their children to the hospital for further examinations and timely symptomatic treatment. Your daily diet should be light and easily digestible. You can eat more calcium-rich foods such as soy products and dairy products, and take medicines such as Longmu Bone Strengthening Granules for self-regulation.
