His chest was clear then as per the x-ray.since 15 days he has been having sound again.I took him for vaccination on 6 th of thjs month.Doctor checked him and said everything is normal.He is making more sound from 3 days and i could listen some sound when i kept my hands over his chest and back.I tried nasal saline drops but of no use.He is breastfed and having some fruits and cerelac.what could be the reason for making such sounds??Is there anything to worry??what can i do??

It is most probably laryngomalacia ,( a congenital disorder of the larynx), which is the commonest cause of noisy breathing in infants. It is a self limiting condition in most cases and will disappear by 18 months of age

I understand your concerns. It seems like laryngomalacia, congenital disorder which brings these sounds to babies. It will settle on its own as the baby grows up mostly beyond 18 months of age.
