For several years after giving birth, parents need to take good care of their babies because they are too young and lack any autonomy. Therefore, without the care of parents, it is very easy to have problems. Do you know the reasons why babies at three months old have shortness of breath? Next, let me give you a brief introduction.
Why does a three month old baby breathe heavily
1. Pillow too high: Regarding the situation where the baby is panting heavily, if parents use a pillow for the baby, they can check if it is caused by the pillow being too high. Because the cervical spine of newborns is straight, if the pillow is too high, it can cause difficulty breathing, leading to rough breathing.
2. Calcium deficiency: Calcium deficiency can also lead to shortness of breath. The symptom is softening of the baby's throat cartilage. It is recommended that if breastfeeding, the mother can take some calcium tablets to help supplement calcium.
3. Upper respiratory tract infection: also known as a cold. Many babies have nasal congestion when they have a cold, which can easily cause difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. It is recommended to cure the cold as soon as possible in this situation, as the symptoms will naturally disappear after recovery.
4. Throat infection: Some mothers may not pay attention to eating foods that can easily cause allergies, such as seafood, which can lead to allergic reactions in their babies. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers pay more attention to their diet and avoid foods that may pose risks.
What should I do if my baby is panting heavily
1. If it is caused by a cold or nasal congestion, but there are no other symptoms such as fever, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, etc., it can be treated by giving him more water. At the same time, you can also use a humidifier or put a few pots of water indoors to increase the humidity, which can alleviate symptoms of nasal mucosal hematoma and upper respiratory discomfort.
2. If the newborn's shortness of breath is caused by other conditions, it can be treated accordingly, and after a period of time, it will naturally improve. It is recommended that parents observe their baby's symptoms and symptoms more frequently, detect problems in a timely manner, and deal with them early to avoid serious consequences.
The above is a brief introduction about why a three month old baby is panting heavily and what to do if the baby is panting heavily. So parents must always pay attention to whether their babies have any abnormal symptoms. If not, it's best. If there are, they need to figure out the cause as soon as possible. It's better to have a false alarm than not to worry, otherwise it can easily lead to irreversible consequences.
