Baby wheezing while sleeping

Parents are very sensitive to changes in their baby's body, especially when the baby's body shows abnormalities. Babies cannot express their thoughts yet, so many symptoms can only be expressed through body language. Parents should pay attention to their babies' actions. Some parents find that their babies wheeze while sleeping. So, what is going on when your baby makes wheezing sounds while sleeping?

When parents discover this situation, there is a high possibility that the child has congenital laryngeal stridor. Congenital laryngeal stridor is caused by the cartilage being too long and causing it to bend. When inhaling, the spoon-shaped cartilage is pulled down to block the entrance of the throat, causing difficulty in breathing and depression in the upper part of the chest. Mild cases rarely affect the baby's nutrition and health and are nothing to worry about; severe cases should be treated in the hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment.

1 Congenital laryngeal stridor refers to the wheezing sound that can be heard when the baby is sleeping after birth. This often happens shortly after the child is born, but as the child grows older, the laryngeal cartilage gradually develops and hardens, and the stridor will gradually disappear. This is the case in most cases, and only in very rare cases will the condition worsen. If it causes respiratory infection, it will aggravate the disease and should be taken seriously.

2 When this happens, timely measures should be taken, because this happens because the bones are soft, so children should be exposed to more sun, supplemented with sufficient calcium and vitamin D, and pay attention to preventing respiratory infections. Generally, the symptoms will gradually disappear when the child is about 2 years old. If a child between 2 and 6 years old has mouth breathing or blue lips due to tonsillitis, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3 When the condition worsens, it is mostly caused by chronic tonsillitis or tonsillitis hypertrophy. Tonsils are the largest lymphoid tissue in the throat. After repeated inflammatory stimulation, they will become in a state of chronic hyperplasia. Because the oversized tonsils fall backwards, they block the respiratory tract and cause breathing difficulties. The above two diseases will cause sleep disorders and malnutrition and developmental problems in children due to breathing difficulties and hypoxia, so children's snoring should be paid attention to.
