What to do if your baby is breathing heavily

Whether a baby's breathing is heavy depends on the baby's specific situation. What we need to do is to observe more and provide more treatment. Babies cannot express their feelings. If you encounter a baby with heavy breathing, it depends on the specific situation. If you can solve it yourself, deal with it yourself and go to the hospital for examination. This is a good choice. Timely treatment is also very good for the baby.

When your baby starts breathing heavily, you should first check whether his nostrils are blocked. If so, use a cotton swab to clear it. If it is because the indoor air is bad, you need to open the windows for ventilation. However, if the baby has asthma, it will also cause the baby to breathe heavily.

The incidence of childhood asthma is indeed very high now, and the chance of inheritance is also particularly high. There are many causes of asthma, but they are nothing more than internal and external factors. Internal factors are physical factors, and external factors are environmental factors. Childhood asthma is closely related to colds, weather changes, excessive exercise, fatigue, certain foods and medicines, passive smoking, paint, and oil fumes. In addition, the fur of small animals, indoor dust mites, mold, cockroaches, flowers, pollen, etc. are also triggering factors for some children with asthma. Among them, colds are the most common factor causing asthma attacks in children.

Sudden onset of wheezing is the main feature of childhood asthma. The wheezing symptoms of childhood asthma vary greatly depending on the severity of the asthma. Children may have high-pitched wheezing that can be heard without a stethoscope or at a certain distance. The respiratory rate increases and breathing becomes difficult. Infants and young children may breathe through their mouths with flaring nostrils. Many children may have cough, which is usually dry cough at the beginning, and white mucous sputum is coughed up when the attack subsides. In severe attacks, the patient may show irritability, cyanosis, pale complexion, and cold sweats. Physical examination revealed three-recess sign, increased heart rate, and wheezing in both lungs. Further aggravation may lead to symptoms of heart failure such as distended neck veins, edema, small bubbling sounds in the middle and bottom of the lungs, and enlarged liver. Children with chronic asthma may have signs of emphysema, such as barrel chest and tympanic sound on chest percussion.

If the baby's heavy breathing is caused by asthma, then the asthma needs to be treated, so as to solve the problem of the baby's heavy breathing. When the baby suddenly has heavy breathing, you first need to check whether the baby's body temperature is normal. If the body temperature is normal, there is generally no serious problem.

The above are the issues related to babies' heavy breathing. I hope it can attract everyone's attention. Some problems can be solved by parents themselves. This requires us to conduct certain observations, discover them in time, and treat them in time. This is very good. We must continue to observe so that the baby can grow more safely and grow and develop safely.
