Love to move and play is the nature of little babies, but some babies may gasp for breath even with a little exercise. Breathing is also not smooth, as if very tired. At this time, parents are often both puzzled and particularly worried, afraid that the baby may have some illness. Below, we will analyze the reasons for a one and a half year old baby's shortness of breath.
What is the reason for a one and a half year old baby panting heavily
1. Firstly, it is necessary to check the baby's breathing condition after activity and whether they have any heart disease. If a baby breathes and their lips turn purple after activities, they should consider having heart disease.
2. If you can hear breathing sounds like the north wind blowing on your baby's back after the activity, you should consider whether you have asthma. Whistling and wheezing are usually indicative of asthma.
3. Another thing to observe is whether there is nasal mucus blockage in the baby's nasal cavity. If there is, it can also cause poor breathing and rough breathing sounds.
What should I do if my baby is panting heavily
If it's due to nasal discharge, use a nasal cannula to help the baby suck out the mucus inside and see if it's better. If there is nasal mucus blocking up after sucking it clean, it may be a bit of a cold and stuffy nose. It should be noted that if fed with formula milk, excessive nasal discharge may occur due to internal heat, so it is important to give the baby plenty of water.
If it is not due to nasal discharge, then it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for blood routine and allergen testing, and undergo auscultation by a doctor to confirm the diagnosis of the disease and rule out the possibility of the baby suffering from wheezing bronchitis or allergic asthma. Both asthmatic bronchitis and allergic asthma can be effectively controlled through active and effective treatment.
For the phenomenon of rough breathing in babies' activities, parents should first pay attention to it. Regardless of the cause or disease that causes discomfort in babies, it is necessary to trace the root cause. Then seek treatment and treatment as early as possible. Because many infant and toddler diseases are generally detected and treated early, which is more beneficial for control or recovery.
