Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half months old. There is a hoarse sound and wheezing when breathing, and the outside of the throat visibly indents during exhalation. It feels like the baby can't catch its breath properly. In the past two days, feeding has also been a bit difficult. Does this situation require surgery?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that the two-month-old baby may have stridor and slightly difficult breathing. On the one hand, it could be symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection caused by catching a cold. On the other hand, it may also be physiological, related to the baby being young and having underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage. It is recommended to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Measures should be taken based on the situation, while also fostering good living habits and letting the baby get sunlight. Sincerely wish the baby grows up strong and healthy.The above is the suggestion for the question "Baby is two and a half months old and has a hoarse cough," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
