Question
Why does a four-month-old baby have a throat that makes a licking sound without having a cold?
Answer
A four-month-old baby’s throat making a licking sound might be due to incomplete respiratory development. In this case, the baby is prone to symptoms like tracheitis and pneumonia during colds. It is recommended for parents to pay attention to the baby’s warmth and examine the throat. If the examination results are normal, no special treatment is generally required.
