my baby got gorrr sound while fast crawling but no cold or cough its wheezing or not already i gave budecort and levolin

Question

Accepted Answer

A "gur-gur" sound while crawling, especially when it happens during fast movement or exertion, is likely due to something other than wheezing, particularly if there are no signs of cold or cough. Wheezing typically occurs during breathing, especially when the baby exhales, and it sounds like a high-pitched whistling noise, often associated with asthma or respiratory infections.

Possible Causes of the "Gur-Gur" Sound:

1. Normal Baby Movements: Babies may make various sounds while moving, including crawling or exerting themselves. This could be the sound of the chest or airway moving in a normal way when they change positions or strain during movement.

2. Post-Nasal Drip: Sometimes, if there is any mild congestion, even without obvious cold or cough, mucus can drip down the back of the throat. This can cause mild sounds when your baby is active but not necessarily lead to a full-blown cold or cough.

3. Air Swallowing: If your baby is moving quickly and exerting effort, they may be swallowing air, which can sometimes create sounds in their chest or throat.

4. Mild Respiratory Irritation: It could also be due to mild irritation in the airways, which is not necessarily serious but may cause sounds when the baby is crawling or engaging in physical activity.

About the Medications (Budecort and Levolin):

Budecort (Budesonide) and Levolin (Levosalbutamol) are typically used for conditions like asthma, wheezing, or other respiratory conditions. If your baby is not showing signs of wheezing (e.g., difficulty breathing, whistling sounds during exhalation), these medications may not be needed unless specifically prescribed by the pediatrician for a diagnosed condition like asthma or bronchitis.

Recommendations:

Observe for Other Symptoms: Keep an eye out for any changes in your baby’s breathing pattern. If the "gur-gur" sound continues and becomes more frequent, or if you notice wheezing (whistling during exhalation), labored breathing, or if your baby seems uncomfortable or has difficulty breathing, it’s important to seek medical advice.

Avoid Overuse of Medication: Do not continue giving medication like Budecort or Levolin without a doctor's guidance, especially if the sound you're hearing is not related to wheezing or a respiratory condition. Unnecessary medication could potentially cause more harm than good.

Monitor Activity: If the sound occurs mostly when your baby is crawling fast or exerting themselves, it might just be a normal response to physical activity. Make sure your baby is not overtired and give them enough breaks to avoid any overexertion.

If you're concerned or the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician to ensure that there's no underlying issue affecting your baby’s respiratory health.
