Patient's question:
My baby is four months old and has a ventricular septal defect, measuring 9.4mm. It's a bit difficult for her to take naps at night and she experiences some breathing difficulties. It seems like there's phlegm in her throat, but after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it might be due to poor throat development. What are the symptoms of poor throat development?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, poor throat development can lead to a cat-like snoring sound, and occasional mucus symptoms may improve. In that case, you can give the child a nebulizer treatment. As the child grows older, the throat will naturally develop better. There is also a possibility of recurrent breathing difficulties with a ventricular septal defect, so it is important to make a clear distinction. This is the advice for the question "My baby is four months old, with a ventricular septal defect." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
