At night, during sleep, there is a sound in the throat, resembling phlegm, accompanied by swallowing movements. The eyes are slightly closed, breathing is uneven, the head shakes, there are occasional coughs, breastfeeding is normal, and sometimes the baby cries and is restless. There is no fever. Could this be pneumonia?
