See below: Resp rate of 40 is elevated, not as bad for a 3 year old as would be for an adult but still. Try his asthma meds if you still have them, if they don't help go see a doc. Also if he has fever/chills and colored discharge. Good luck!

Asthma can be: serious! He should already be on meds for maintenance and rescue inhalers for quick relief. If you've already done so and he is still breathing in the 40's , he needs to be seen ASAP.
