Noisy Breathing in Children

Noisy Breathing in Children | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

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.
