A member asked:
Sudden baby breathing problems? what brings about that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Their feed can come back up from their stomach & drip into their windpipe. They can get their mucous into their windpipe. They can develop pneumonia or a collapsed lung. All this is best sorted out during an urgent exam.
