Question
My baby’s breathing sounds rough, especially when playing, with rapid and loud breathing, but normal during sleep. Do you have any experience with this, and what could be the cause?
Answer
A rough breathing sound in babies may be a sign of respiratory inflammation, often caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a proper examination and treatment, and to take daily preventive measures such as avoiding catching a cold, adjusting clothing, and reducing contact with susceptible individuals to promote the baby’s healthy recovery.
