Dyspnea is an important symptom of respiratory insufficiency. Patients subjectively feel that they are short of air or have difficulty breathing; objectively, it manifests as changes in respiratory rate, depth, and rhythm.

There are many reasons for children's difficulty breathing when sleeping. Parents should understand how their baby's breathing difficulties are caused so that they can better help their baby relieve the symptoms. Generally speaking, children's difficulty breathing when sleeping is mainly caused by the following reasons:

1. Respiratory tract infection: If parents suspect that the baby has a respiratory tract infection, they should give the baby more warm water and keep the baby warm if there is phlegm. Keep indoor air fresh and open windows for ventilation often. Increase rest time and ensure adequate sleep, you can adopt side-lying position. If the condition worsens or other abnormal respiratory symptoms occur, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

2. Indigestion: If your baby holds his breath and farts a lot when sleeping, it may be related to indigestion, and you need to reduce the intake of protein and fat. During this period, you should pay attention to the concentration of the milk powder. You can dilute it appropriately before feeding your baby, let the baby drink some warm water between feedings, or add glucose to the milk powder to help intestinal digestion.

3. Softening of the laryngeal bones: There is an epiglottis cartilage in the throat. It is immature and soft at birth. It vibrates and makes a noisy sound when inhaling. Most of the symptoms are mild and can be observed. They will gradually improve as the child grows up.

4. Incomplete development of nasal bones: The baby's nasal bones are not fully developed, and the nasal passages are short and susceptible to infection. Once infected, it is very easy to spread. Therefore, it is recommended that parents always observe whether the child's nasal cavity is clean. If nasal crusts, snot or dust are found, they should help him remove them.

5. Covering children too much or too tightly when it is cold: This is also a factor that causes children to have difficulty breathing while sleeping, so children should not be wrapped too tightly. Keep the indoor ventilation circulating and let your baby breathe fresh air. Also maintain the indoor air humidity, you can put a basin of water at the child's bedside at night.

6. Asthma: If the child does not cough during the day, but has wheezing, severe coughing, and difficulty breathing at night or in the early morning, then he is more likely to suffer from pediatric asthma. Normally, children over the age of 5 are less likely to suffer from bronchiolitis or pneumonia, but if a child over the age of 5 suffers from bronchiolitis at least twice a year, the mother should pay more attention to the child's respiratory health.
