Does your baby have wheezing sounds when breathing?

Some babies have wheezing sounds when they breathe. In fact, if the baby's breathing sounds become heavier after exercise and get better after rest, and there is nothing abnormal about the baby's mental state and appetite, this is generally normal. If the baby has a weaker constitution, he or she will not have the endurance for general activities. If the breathing sounds become heavier after exercise, it is best to take the baby to the hospital and let the doctor listen to the lungs to see if it is caused by disease.

Wheezing is an additional respiratory sound that occurs when air flows through narrow airways. The characteristics of wheezing are that the pitch is relatively high, it has a sound like a vibrating metal wire, it lasts for a long time, and it is more obvious during exhalation. Generally, wheezing will occur when bronchial asthma attacks. If there is also swelling of the bronchiolar mucosa and secretions in the lumen, the wheezing will be louder. It is normal for babies to have wheezing sounds when they cough. The occurrence of wheezing is mainly due to extensive bronchiolar spasm in the lungs. Generally, when exhaling, pathological breath sounds will appear when air flows through the narrow bronchiolar lumen. This type of pathological breath sounds may also appear when other diseases cause gas obstruction. For example, wheezing may be detected during auscultation in cases of bronchial foreign bodies, endobronchial tuberculosis, etc. Many cardiac asthma attacks are also accompanied by wheezing, but this type of wheezing exists both during inhalation and exhalation, but is not as obvious as in bronchial asthma.
