What should I do if there is a whistling sound when the baby breathes?

Patient's question:

When breathing, there is a rustling sound, as if there is a feeling of difficult breathing, no mucus in the nose, as if it's a sound from the throat. About ten days, I'm wondering what kind of help is needed: Is it an illness? What caused it....

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms you described, a "hissing" sound during breathing, are likely to be infantile bronchitis. The condition and its causes are complex. The primary cause of capillary bronchitis is respiratory syncytial virus, which accounts for 80% or more of cases. Others include adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, influenza virus, etc. In very rare cases, it may be caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. After infection with the virus, the small capillary airways become inflamed, swollen, and produce an increasing amount of mucus. Additionally, the sloughing off of purulent mucosal epithelial cells blocks the airways, leading to significant pulmonary emphysema and atelectasis. The inflammation can affect the alveoli, alveolar walls, and interstitial tissue, so it can be considered a special type of pneumonia.
Recommendation: Personally, I suggest that long-term medication for many infants and young children can lead to various drug toxic side effects. Applying traditional Chinese medicine externally is a safe and convenient alternative. Currently, commonly used products include the Bicaoqiongjiang Yiqi patch for expectoration and the Sijiu patch for winter use. Wishing your baby good health.
