Patient's question:
Just born for nine days, found this morning that breathing is sometimes a bit rapid. Hello, what is the matter? Treatment history and effectiveness: chest X-ray said there is mild pneumonia. What kind of help is needed: What are some good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Newborns may have rapid breathing, which is usually observed in two situations: physiological and pathological. If the child exhibits this from birth, it is more likely a physiological phenomenon. Newborns often have short nasal passages and narrow airways, along with underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage, which can lead to heavy breathing or symptoms similar to rapid breathing. In this case, the condition will gradually stabilize as the child grows older, and there is no need to worry.The other type is a pathological phenomenon, commonly seen in newborns who were born normally but recently develop heavy breathing. This is often due to external pathogens. Some newborns with pneumonia may not have a high fever or coughing, but only show heavy breathing, which is often overlooked.
