What causes shortness of breath in children when sleeping?

Children's physical health is very easily affected, especially during sleep. For example, symptoms such as shortness of breath or snoring have a great impact on babies and parents need to pay great attention to them. What is the reason why children breathe rapidly when sleeping? Let’s take a look at the explanation below. I hope everyone can understand this explanation.

Some children breathe loudly and rapidly when they sleep, which may indicate a problem with their lungs. Children may be infected with viruses during a cold, which may lead to pneumonia. If not treated promptly, pneumonia may worsen and cause the baby to have difficulty breathing. Some babies have phlegm in their throats, blocked nasal passages, chondrodysplasia, etc., which may also cause shortness of breath.

Some children are not well cared for in their mother's womb, so the baby may have congenitally immature lungs. Some babies have abnormal vascular structure, which may also cause breathing abnormalities. Some children have respiratory problems due to enlarged adenoids, tonsillitis, etc. Congenital factors can affect the baby's physical development, so they need timely treatment.

Many children breathe rapidly when they sleep, mainly because they are too tired, poor air circulation, heavy objects pressing on the baby's heart, etc. Many children are under great pressure to study. If parents add additional pressure to their babies, the babies may suffer from endocrine disorders, poor sleep quality and difficulty breathing. Some babies like to sleep with the windows closed, which may cause poor air circulation.

To sum up, many babies experience shortness of breath and difficulty breathing when they sleep, which makes parents very worried. If this happens, it may be caused by disease factors or non-disease factors. Disease factors include heart disease, pharyngitis, and enlarged tonsils. Non-disease factors include poor air circulation, pressure from heavy objects, and high mental stress. Your baby's breathing difficulties will affect his or her sleep, so treatment is needed.
