A. If your baby has tonsillitis and is making noise while breathing, it could be due to swollen tonsils or throat inflammation that is partially blocking the airway. Since your pediatrician has already prescribed antibiotics, continue the full course as directed. In the meantime: Keep your baby well-hydrated with breast milk, formula, or warm fluids if age-appropriate. Use a cool-mist humidifier in the room to ease breathing. Hold your baby upright more often to reduce throat pressure. Avoid any strong smells, smoke, or allergens in the room. However, if the noisy breathing becomes wheezing, grunting, or very labored, or if your baby has trouble feeding or turns bluish, seek immediate medical attention, as this could indicate breathing difficulty needing urgent care.
