Not necessarily: Chronic rhinosinusitis can lead to an asthma flare, and a sense of sinus fullness.  However, if you are having throat swelling, it can be due to angioedema or to a severe allergic reaction.  You should see an allergist as soon as possible. If it happens again, go to your emergency room - this can be life threatening.

Possible conditions: Feed at an angle and avoid spit ups, by burping mid and after a feeding. If the mucus is related to post nasal drip, infant nasal saline drops and gentle suction may be helpful.

Monitor for signs of infection including fever.

Accepted Answer

: What is his pulse ox both at rest and with activity? This is important to know as he may require supplemental oxygen. He should see a lung doctor for adjustments in his medication as well as testing for the need for oxygen support. Oxygen support can alleviate the breathlessness sensation, if he qualifies. So, see a lung doctor ASAP. There are additional medications to try for symptom management.
