What causes breathing difficulties for babies during nighttime sleep?

Patient's question:

1. Sitting quietly during the day, you can hear the sound of your nose breathing, but there's nothing in your nose.
2. At night while sleeping, you often wake up due to shortness of breath, with poor breathing, and resort to mouth breathing.
3. Sometimes it's accompanied by spitting foam.
4. Occasionally, you grind your teeth.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby often experiences difficulty breathing at night while sleeping, it could be caused by chronic bronchopneumonia or heart-related issues. It is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the nature of the condition and provide appropriate treatment. There are many causes that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
