Patient's question:
A five-month-old baby turns purple and cyanotic when coughing, but is normal otherwise. The doctor said it might be due to severe tracheal pain. When coughing, the trachea and urethra constrict, causing choking. If the air cannot enter within a few seconds, the baby turns purple and blue. Previously, I had questioned whether it could be bronchiolitis, but the doctor said the baby is not wheezing and it is not bronchiolitis. What is this condition and how should it be treated? Thank you??Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's lips turn purple whenever they cough, so we especially need to consult about this.According to your description, the situation has been understood. Considering the baby might have severe bronchitis pain, it could be due to catching a cold or an allergy to something. In daily life, prevent colds, maintain a balanced diet, pay attention to keeping warm, get plenty of sunlight, and if possible, engage in sufficient activities to gradually strengthen the immune system. Gradually, it will heal as the child grows older. Don't worry too much. Wishing the little one good health and the whole family happiness!
