Many children experience wheezing when the weather is cold, and many parents are worried about this situation, especially worrying that their children may suffer from diseases such as asthma. If a child has wheezing, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. So what is the reason for the baby frequently wheezing?
Wheezing is a common respiratory disease in babies when they are young. When wheezing occurs, there is often difficulty breathing, snoring, and even symptoms such as mental distress and vomiting. This is because the baby's trachea has spasms, increased secretions, or edema, which cause wheezing. There are many reasons for babies to experience wheezing, and different types of wheezing have different causes.
If a baby experiences early transient wheezing, usually before the age of 3, their lung function will decline after birth due to premature birth and smoking. Many children are prone to wheezing after experiencing low lung function.
If there is persistent wheezing, it often recurs and is more common in infants and young children. As the baby grows older, it will gradually disappear during puberty. The cause of recurrent wheezing in babies is due to viral infection, especially respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is more common. This condition is caused by bronchiolitis leading to wheezing in patients.
