Newborn Coughing During Feeding and Breathing Rate Issues

Newborns with high breathing rates and frequent coughing may be due to a lack of vitamin A, causing the pharyngeal epiglottis to not fully cover the trachea, leading to coughing during feeding.

Additionally, timely supplementation of vitamin A is very important, which can be achieved through oral fish liver oil drops.
