Noisy Breathing in Children
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
When parents complain that a child has noisy breathing, the healthcare provider will want to know:
what the breathing sounds like
when the noisy breathing started
whether it is constant or only occurs sometimes
whether it goes away during sleep
whether the breathing is affected by changes in position
whether symptoms get worse with feeding
if there are any signs of an infection, such as a cough, fever, or runny nose
whether the child snores during sleep
if there is a family history of noisy breathing
what other medical conditions the child has, if any
Other questions may also be asked as well.
