Patient's question:
The baby makes loud breathing sounds while feeding, as if there is phlegm, and has difficulty sleeping for the past 5 days.Treatment history and effectiveness in the past: No specific treatment has been given.
Request for help: Is it possible that the baby is calcium deficient?
Doctor's answer:
If the baby's lungs make no sound while breathing, it is a normal phenomenon!Advice: Newborns have many physiological characteristics different from older children and adults, with the main feature of the respiratory system being that the nasal cavity has not yet fully developed. The nasal cavity of a newborn is short and narrow, with almost no inferior nasal meatus. The nasal mucosa contains blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, so it is easily congested and swollen when exposed to external impacts, making the already narrow nasal cavity even more constricted.
