Question
Should You Worry If Your Child’s Breathing Sounds Rough While Sleeping?
Answer
Soon after birth, parents may notice that their child’s breathing sounds rough while sleeping. After a doctor’s auscultation, it was indicated that there is no need to worry; however, parents still want to know if there are any potential health issues. According to the description, the child’s symptoms may be caused by respiratory or pulmonary infection, and it is recommended to use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, antipyretics, antivirals, and bronchodilators for treatment. A chest X-ray may also be necessary for diagnosis. If diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and cultivating good hygiene habits. Additionally, parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
