Baby has a heavy nasal sound when sleeping

When many babies are sleeping, mothers will hear that their nasal sounds are heavy, that is, the sound of their breathing is particularly rough, and sometimes they may be accompanied by snoring. This is mostly due to the presence of some garbage in the baby's nasal cavity, which is what we often call nasal mucus, and this garbage is caused by rhinitis. So what should I do if my baby has a heavy nasal sound when sleeping?

There are two possible reasons why a newborn has noisy respiratory tract:

1. Nasal cavity: The space of the nasal cavity of a newborn is relatively small, and noisy sounds will occur when air passes through a narrow space. Under normal circumstances, a small amount of secretions will easily accumulate in the nasal cavity. Due to these two reasons, the newborn's nasal sound is heavier. If there are no obvious cold symptoms, pay attention to whether there is nasal mucus in the nose. If there is, just use a small cotton swab to clean it out.

2. Throat. There is an epiglottis cartilage in the throat. It is immature and soft at birth. When you inhale, it vibrates and makes a noisy sound. Most of the symptoms are mild and can be observed. They will gradually improve as you grow up.

Take your baby to the ENT department of a regular hospital for treatment. The child’s symptoms should be caused by adenoids hypertrophy. The main reason is recurrent rhinitis and colds causing inflammatory hyperplasia of the adenoids. If not treated in time, it will lead to facial bone dysplasia and cause adenoid facies

The baby's respiratory tract is narrow and can be easily blocked by a little secretion (such as nasal mucus) or swelling. Therefore, snoring is easy to occur if the sleeping posture is not good. It is recommended to clean the nasal cavity frequently and change the sleeping position frequently. Parents should create a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment for their babies. They should not let their babies eat too much before going to bed, and they should not tease their babies too much and make them too excited. If your baby appears to be in good spirits and have a good appetite after waking up, and is growing and developing normally, there is no need to worry too much.
