POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. I'm sorry to hear that your baby is having breathing difficulties. Since you've already consulted many doctors, I'll suggest some possible causes and additional steps you can take for relief.
Possible Causes of Noisy Breathing in Babies:
1️⃣ Nasal Congestion – If the nose is blocked, it can cause noisy breathing. Try saline drops and a humidifier.
2️⃣ Laryngomalacia – A common condition in infants where the soft tissues in the airway collapse slightly. It usually improves with age.
3️⃣ Allergies or Asthma – If symptoms worsen with dust, weather changes, or strong smells, allergies could be the cause.
4️⃣ Acid Reflux (Silent Reflux) – If the baby spits up often or seems uncomfortable after feeding, acid reflux could be contributing.
5️⃣ Chest Infections or Bronchiolitis – If there’s a persistent cough, wheezing, or fever, lung infections may be involved.
What Can Help?
✔ Steam Therapy – Give gentle steam before bedtime.
✔ Saline Nasal Drops – Clears nasal blockage.
✔ Keep the Room Moisturized – Use a humidifier to prevent dryness.
✔ Elevate Head While Sleeping – This helps with congestion.
✔ Check for Milk Allergy – If formula-fed, discuss switching formulas with your doctor.
🚨 When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention?
🔴 Baby's lips or face turn blue or pale
🔴 Struggling to breathe or using belly muscles too much
🔴 Noisy breathing worsens or is present even during sleep
Since you've already consulted multiple doctors, it might be helpful to get a pediatric pulmonologist’s opinion or request a chest X-ray or throat evaluation if not already done. Let me know more details, and I'll try my best to guide you!
