Question
A four-month-old baby with a ventricular septal defect, weighing 9.4 kilograms, has difficulty breathing while sleeping at night and the throat seems to have phlegm. After a detailed examination, the doctor suspects that there may be a problem with the development of the throat. Inquiry about the symptoms of throat maldevelopment.
Answer
Based on the description, throat maldevelopment may present with a meowing-like honk and occasionally with phlegm. If the symptoms ease, you can try giving the baby nebulizer treatment. As the baby grows, the throat usually develops naturally. The ventricular septal defect may also cause difficulty breathing, requiring differentiation and further medical evaluation. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish the baby a healthy life!
