"grunting" and wheezing noises ?

Question

my 1 mth old was sent to Childrens Hospital to check for respritory distress due to "grunitng" when exhaling and wheezing noises; docotrs took x-rays stating nothing wrong and noises normal,but he wouldn't make the noises in the hopsital when the doctors or nurses where tthere.He did them in front of the pediatrician that refered us to the hospital and so i then video taped him and played it to the pediatrician who is now refering us to a pulminolgist .... anyone had such problems... he really grunts alot when laying on his back and can only sleep like and hr at a time.... we rolled him on his belly two nights ago and he sleeps for 3 hrs on average (please no SID's freak outs,we are careful to watch him all night but he can't get any sleep otherwise which made him just screaming for lack of sleep) but his grunting mostly goes away when on his belly and he sleeps .... but now he stopped pooping ... ???

Answer 1

perhaps it could also be the tempature in the room cause if u find out he has got problems then that could one of the things that trigger it off for example he could have some sort of asthma i know my self when am in room where its stuffy i can feel myself wheezy and breathing hard perhaps it is the same for him but he is getting it worse due 2 him only being a month old .
has he been checked for asthma?or has anyone in ur family got asthma
as for stop pooping the only thing i can think is not enough fiber in his food or might have something wrong with his bowel
anyways i hope this helped a little bit
hope ur wee boy gets better soon

Answer 2

My 3y/o was like this when she was born. It was so loud and worrying.
I found out that she had alot of gas and if i had fed her, then she may have either drank to much or got too much air, and this was causing the hard wheezing and grunting.
The only thing i could do was buy some Gripe Water or some gas drops from the pharmacy. My pediatrician said to give her just a couple small drops in her milk or give her 3 ounces of plain water and this may help....water also helps with pooping. My 9 week old is getting constipated. Well, it's been very huimid here and hot. Her pediatrician just told me she will dehydrated quicker and that leads to constipation. She adviced putting an extra ounce of water in with her milk or giving her 2oz of plain lukewarm water to 1. help with dehydration and 2. loosen up those bowels.
I hope your boy is okay, this is just what i experienced with my dauhghter and she did the grunts and wheezing till she was about 15 weeks old and then it began to go away.
