Patient's question:
Our baby is 38 days old. She often holds her breath with a red face, struggles hard, and makes groaning sounds, as if it's difficult for her to breathe. Her sleep time is also short, probably only about ten hours. Sometimes she seems very tired, but as soon as we put her down in bed, she starts holding her breath and then struggles to wake up. Holding her makes it a bit better. She also frequently spits up milk. Additionally, it feels like there's always something foreign in her throat. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the baby does not have abdominal pain, normal feeding, urination, and defecation, then straining is a normal phenomenon. The sensation of a sound in the throat suggests underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage. It is recommended that you do not worry too much and take the baby to the hospital for further detailed examination to check for any abnormalities in the lungs and digestive system. Administer vitamin AD drops daily to promote calcium metabolism in the body. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
