What is the reason why my baby makes a snorting sound when he breathes?

It may be caused by the child's nose, or it may be that the child sleeps too soundly and enters a deep sleep, so after the body is comfortable, it will cause the nose to breathe when humming, there is no problem, the child is slowly growing up.

It may be due to physiological reasons that the baby's nasal passages are relatively narrow. It can also be due to laryngeal achondroplasia. Or it is a respiratory infection, of course, it may also be due to factors such as asthma inhalation of foreign bodies in your baby.

I think maybe the baby's small respiratory system has not fully developed, or there is something in the nasal space, and the breathing is not smooth, or it may be that the baby has a cold and is uncomfortable.

Newborn babies sometimes snort when they sleep, which is normal, it may be phlegm in the throat, it is recommended to let the baby sleep on his side.

If the newborn is mildly short of breath, there is no need to worry, as the baby will be breathing faster than usual while sleeping.

If you are short of breath and there is an obvious abnormality, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

You should take your child to the doctor for a detailed examination of whether there is inflammation in the trachea.

Usually the baby's resistance is relatively poor, and the ability to resist disease is not strong, if the baby's nose often has snot and will make a snorting sound when breathing, why take a look at it.

1. Why does the baby often have snot in his nose and make a snorting sound when he breathes?

1. There is a nasal crust in the nose. Some babies have nasal mucus, and make a snorting sound when breathing, it may be that the baby's nose has a scab blocking the baby's breathing, then it will cause the baby's breathing to be not smooth, so if the mother finds that the baby has a scab in the nose, you should use a cotton swab dipped in some warm water to clean up the scab in the baby's nose, if the scab in the baby's nose is relatively hard, then at this time you can spray some saline solution or drop some breast milk in the baby's nose, This can effectively help the baby's nasal secretions soften and then roll out these nasal crusts with a cotton swab.

2. Cold. If the baby has the above situation, it is possible that the baby has a cold, because the baby's resistance is usually poor, so Yuhan's ability will be relatively poor, if the baby usually wears too little, or is not covered with a quilt at night, it is likely to cause the baby to have a cold, generally the baby's cold will appear after the nasal congestion, and the baby will not wipe his nose by himself, then this time will cause the baby's breathing is not smooth, and it will make a snorting sound. In this case, the mother can use a warm towel to help the baby apply the root of the nose, this method can effectively promote the contraction of the baby's nasal mucosa, which will make the baby's breathing smoother.

2. How to prevent babies from catching colds?

It is because children have snot in their noses, so they will make different sounds when they breathe, which is normal, and we adults will make such sounds when they have snot in their noses.

It may be that there is inflammation in the baby's body, and it may be that the baby's nasal mucus is clogged in the nostrils. At this time, be sure to clean the baby's nostrils in time.

It may be because the child has a cold, upper respiratory tract infection, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, pneumonia and other conditions, increased nasal secretions, and nasal dryness.

This is because the baby has rhinitis, and this condition is very serious, so when the baby has this condition, parents must take the baby to the hospital for a physical examination.

It may be caused by clogged secretions in the nose, which is also known as nasal boogers, which can be gently removed with a cotton swab.

If you hear your baby making an unusual noise while breathing, it may be that the respiratory system is blocked. It may be nasal discharge in the nasal passages. Parents should help the baby to take it out.

Maybe the baby is sick, at this time to give the baby to drink more water, and then give him some nutritious food, pay attention to the addition and subtraction of clothes.

This is a very normal child, and this will happen when you are tired, or if you sleep deeply.

It is not normal, it may be because of a problem with the child's heart, it may be that the child has congenital asthma and needs to take the child to the doctor.

What's going on in the baby's throat

The baby's throat may be caused by congenital laryngolacia, upper respiratory tract infection or congenital epiglottis cyst.

There is a snoring sound in the baby's throat, especially the performance that appears soon after birth, and it is obvious when moving and exerting force, and the larynx makes a snoring sound is more obvious, first of all, it is necessary to consider that the baby is congenital laryngeal cartilage dysplasia caused by laryngeal stridor. The baby does not have obvious coughing, phlegm, poor breathing, purple lips, only a simple throat snorting sound. This is because the cartilage of the larynx is relatively soft, and the negative pressure in the throat during inhalation causes the laryngeal tissue to collapse, causing the laryngeal cavity to narrow and the air flow to vibrate.

If it is considered that the larynx snoring, laryngeal sounds, sputum sounds, and wheezing sounds caused by infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, such as upper respiratory tract infection, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., then parents need to observe the baby's body temperature changes, whether there are respiratory manifestations such as coughing and wheezing, shortness of breath, dyspnea, nasal congestion, runny nose, and digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.

It is also possible to have a congenital epiglottis cyst, which obstructs the upper airway and presents with inspiratory laryngeal ringing symptoms that resemble sputum sounds.

How old is the baby now? If you are still a baby, it should not be a big problem, and the sound of snoring is because the baby's throat is not very well developed.

If the baby has been more than a week, check whether the baby has coughed recently and whether there is phlegm in the throat. If possible, it is better to go to the hospital for a check-up as much as possible.

It depends on how old the baby is, if it is a small month, it may be that the baby has phlegm in the throat, and another situation is that the baby's development is not perfect. My baby has always been like this when he was a child, and now he is more than 2 years old, if he eats too many snacks and the weather is relatively dry, this will also happen.

There is phlegm. One is that the nose may be blocked, the second phlegm and sputum may be stuffed into the throat, and the third may still have problems with the lower airway, which means that the trachea and bronchial lungs, most of which are caused by these problems, if there are these problems, the baby should be treated.
