A member asked:
What are the symptoms of lung disease in infants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The symptoms usually are rapid breathing, retraction of the skin between ribs, under ribs, and above the collar bones. The infant may also have some nasal flaring. In addition, the child maybe more fussy than usual, more tired than usual, and not able to eat as well.
