Question

Lately, my child has been very fussy, crying constantly, and there’s a loud breathing sound. I’m not sure what the cause might be.

Answer

Due to individual differences in respiratory structure or development, a loud breathing sound is usually not pathologic and is considered normal. Please pay attention to your child’s body temperature to rule out fever. If you’re concerned, you can take your child to the hospital for a check-up to detect and treat any issues early on.
