Question

Recently, there have been newborns experiencing symptoms of laryngospasm, with the condition being more severe than before, especially during sleep. They have a sensation of foreign matter in the nasopharynx, difficulty in coughing up phlegm or swallowing, and noticeable sounds during breathing. How should massage therapy be performed for newborn laryngospasm?

Answer

Acute laryngitis in newborns is not incurable and the symptoms are not very severe; there is no need to worry excessively. The key to treating newborn laryngospasm lies in symptomatic treatment for the primary disease, so accurate diagnosis of the primary disease is crucial. If the primary disease is not identified, it will have an adverse effect on treatment. Once the primary disease is diagnosed, a corresponding treatment plan can be determined. Medication and other treatment methods should be decided based on the doctor’s diagnosis.
