Usually, the rapid breathing caused by this type of situation is accompanied by a loud noise.

Respiratory tract infections are actually divided into upper respiratory tract infections and lower respiratory tract infections. If it is an upper respiratory tract infection, it may be because the baby's respiratory tract is too narrow, or the larynx is not fully developed, the larynx is edematous, or it may be caused by some other viral infections. If it is an upper respiratory infection, then it has little to do with the physical constitution of the newborn. It should be adjusted and more attention should be paid to the feeding method.

If it is a lower respiratory tract infection, then it is possible that the newborn has pneumonia, and this pneumonia has caused sepsis, causing the baby to have shortness of breath. Whether it is an upper respiratory tract infection or a lower respiratory tract infection, it is actually very harmful to the baby. It should be taken seriously and treated in time.
