Patient's question:
My baby has been snoring and gasping for breath while napping for a month, and it's been difficult for them. What could be the reason? Sometimes, during feeding, they struggle to catch their breath for ten seconds before finally getting air. This has been happening since the third day of their birth. First, I went to one hospital, and the doctor said it was bronchitis. Then, I went to another hospital, and the doctor said it wasn't good for their growth and development.Previous Treatment and Effects:
The doctors at the hospital prescribed sodium chloride injections and Binalin nasal spray. Can these be used?
Type of Help Needed:
I just want to know the reason behind this and why the doctors have different opinions.
Doctor's answer:
1. The child has hypochondroplasia (the mother experienced frequent leg cramps during pregnancy), which causes rough breathing during sleep and shortness of breath while feeding.2. Pneumonia caused... It is recommended to pay attention to ensuring the baby's neck opens quickly while sleeping, avoiding a tucked neck. A small pillow can be placed under the head and neck. Additionally, supplement the baby with vitamin D and calcium. If the baby chokes on milk, spits up foam, has a fever, or has a respiratory rate of over 50 breaths per minute while resting, it is necessary to visit a children's department in a large hospital for a thorough examination to rule out pneumonia.
