What are the diseases that cause breathing difficulties in babies?

Babies are prone to many diseases, the most common of which is a cold. This type of disease has a great impact on the baby's body. When a baby suffers from such a disease, you should first conduct various physical examinations so that you can have some understanding of the baby's condition and choose a good method for treatment. What is the reason for the baby's difficulty breathing? Such a situation is generally caused by disease. The following is a detailed introduction.

Diseases that cause breathing difficulties in babies:

??1Bronchial inflammation

??Allergies to food or medicines can also cause breathing difficulties.

??Young children often suffer from breathing difficulties due to bronchitis, allergic reactions or chronic respiratory diseases such as wheezing and asthma. Director Chen Peitao said: "Especially with the recent drastic changes in weather, children are more susceptible to respiratory syncytial virus infections, resulting in coughing, runny nose, etc. In severe cases, they may also have difficulty breathing and slight wheezing." However, some parents may think that their children's breathing difficulties are wheezing, but in fact it is a virus that causes tracheal inflammation. Parents are advised to take their children to the hospital for evaluation. If bronchiolitis is not handled properly, it may worsen and even cause lung inflammation.

In addition, Dr. Zhuo Yingxiang explained that babies under 2 years old have small bronchial structures, called "bronchioles", which are easily blocked by phlegm when inflamed. This will affect the flow of oxygen, cause breathing difficulties, and trigger symptoms similar to asthma.

2. Allergies

??Some children may have difficulty breathing due to allergies to food or medicine. Dr. Zhuo gave an example. Once a child who is allergic to penicillin is injected with penicillin, his respiratory tract may contract and tighten, making it impossible to inhale air and causing shock, which is called "anaphylactic shock." However, this condition is different from asthma allergies, where the symptoms are mainly chronic cough or slightly shortness of breath, without sudden shock. Therefore, when your child is allergic to a drug, be sure to inform the doctor.

??3Heart problems

??Heart disease can also cause symptoms of breathing difficulties, such as heart failure, etc., which compensates for the body's lack of oxygen through breathing. Therefore, when a child's breathing difficulties do not seem to be caused by the respiratory tract, heart problems need to be considered, especially for young children with congenital heart disease. When they have breathing difficulties, it is necessary to pay attention to whether they are suffering from heart failure.

After understanding the diseases that cause breathing difficulties in babies, when treating the baby's disease, you must pay attention to the cause of the baby's disease. This will help control the disease. The treatment of some complex diseases must be long-term, so parents must be patient and cooperate. This is also something to pay attention to.
