Hi,

Do you mean she has noisy breathing (sound while breathing)? If so, I would like to know since when did you notice the problem?
Is she having fever?
Do you feel she has difficulty breathing or has rapid breathing?
Is she feeding well or does she refuses to feed?
Is she active or irritable / drowsy?

I would like you to answer all of these questions. It will allow me understand the problem better.

Brief Answer:
Try saline nasal spray...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Noisy breathing at this age is more likely due to blocked nose. Since there are no other significant symptoms (no fever, breathing difficulty, rapid breathing) and the child is feeding well and active, I don't see any reasons to be concerned.

I suggest trying saline nasal drops (Nasoclear or nasomist) 1 drops into each nose for every 2 hours and see if the problem gets better.

You should also monitor the symptoms and if the child develops any of the aforementioned symptoms, visit a doctor for clinical examination.
