What's wrong with a three-month-old baby's throat making a gurgling sound?

Babies will encounter many problems during their growth and development, most of which have a certain impact on their physical health. Therefore, parents are very worried about this, especially when the baby shows some symptoms of illness, which makes parents very anxious. For example, some babies are prone to respiratory problems. Among them, what's the matter with a three-month-old baby's throat making a whirring sound? Let's take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

The phlegm in the baby's throat is different from acute respiratory infection in children. It is neither tracheitis, bronchitis nor pneumonia. Therefore, it is not accompanied by symptoms such as fever, cough, and red throat like inflammation in infants. If these symptoms are ruled out, then sputum accumulation in children is a unique short-term phenomenon, which is caused by the child's bronchi being slightly blocked by secretions in the respiratory tract. When we hold a baby, we can hear the gurgling sound, just like the "cat's panting" we feel when we hold a kitten and touch its back. Such children are often overweight, and their snoring will naturally decrease when they change their body position, cough, or spit up milk.

Every child has a different physique, so the amount of secretions in the respiratory tract varies. The same thing is that children around two months old cannot cough or spit, so children who have a lot of secretions and cannot spit them out will develop phlegm accumulation. This secretion in the respiratory tract is not produced due to infection, so sputum accumulation should not be considered a disease and does not require medication. When the child grows up a little, he will naturally cough and spit, and the snoring caused by phlegm will naturally disappear.

In fact, children often have phlegm accumulation, which can cause a whistling sound in their throats. As long as the baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite, it is not a disease. However, when this symptom appears, it must be distinguished from some acute respiratory tract diseases. Once it is diagnosed as a symptom of other diseases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
