Patient's question:
When I was born, I didn't stay in the hospital for long, and even when I was nursing, I made snoring-like sounds. Usually, when I'm sleeping, I'm normal. Even now, when I nurse, I still make those snoring sounds. Sometimes I do when I'm not nursing, and sometimes I don't. I don't have a cold or cough. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
This situation should be due to milk residue sticking to the lateral wall of the pharynx after drinking milk, causing this rough breathing. After finishing feeding, you can let the child drink some water to rinse the lateral wall of the pharynx, which may eliminate this snoring sound. Additionally, when the child sleeps, it's important to have them lie on their side. After feeding, burp the child to ensure the milk goes into the stomach as much as possible and see if there is any improvement. You can also take the baby to the neonatal department at a local hospital for a doctor to listen to the lungs for any rales.
