Question
My baby is two and a half months old and has laryngospasm, with very loud breathing sounds. The throat appears concave during inhalation, and it feels like the baby can’t catch enough breath. Feeding has also been a bit difficult lately. Do I need to have surgery for this condition?
Answer
Based on the description you provided, the two-month-old baby’s symptoms of laryngospasm and difficulty breathing may be due to an upper respiratory infection caused by catching a cold, or it could be a physiological phenomenon due to the baby’s young age and underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the cause and take appropriate measures. At the same time, maintain good living habits, let your baby get plenty of sunlight, and wish for your baby’s healthy growth.
