Babies' physical functions have not yet fully developed, so they need better care. However, even the most careful parents can make mistakes, which can affect the baby's physical health and cause the baby to feel that their nose is snoring with phlegm. So, what should babies do if they feel that their nose is snoring with phlegm?
There are approximately four reasons and treatment methods for infants with nasal snoring and phlegm.
1. Incomplete development of laryngeal cartilage. In this situation, it is important to carefully distinguish whether the baby's snoring sound comes from the nose or throat. If the sound source is from the throat, it is likely to be a problem with the laryngeal cartilage. This does not require special treatment, as babies usually lose their voice when they reach five months of age.
2. Bronchitis. In addition to symptoms such as nasal snoring and phlegm, if a baby has cough and runny nose for six months, it is likely to have bronchitis. In addition to actively treating this situation, parents can pat the baby's phlegm like hiccups, and gently patting the back every day can help the baby expel phlegm.
3. Pneumonia. This condition is similar to bronchitis, and parents need to go to the hospital to see if there is any breathing noise. As long as the pneumonia is cured, the snoring of the nose will also disappear.
4. Overflow of milk. Some babies do not burp in a timely manner after feeding, resulting in frequent milk leakage, and some milk residue in the nasal cavity can also cause the above situation.
