A member asked:

I always over panic about my baby 1yr son he has bad chest again and his breathing looks fast to me what is the normal rate sure he got bronchilitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Average 20-30/min: If there is more rapid breathing with cough/congesion and no improvement with nasal clearance-see your pediatrician. It may indeed be a bronchiolitis with the cold and deeper cough yor describe. Rapid respirations may suggest a pneumonia if fairly ill appearing.
