A member asked:

My 2year olds breathing is very bad. whats the average bpm for a boy his age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

23 bpm: The average respiratory rate at that age is 23 plus or minus 6 breaths/min. Fever will increase the rate by about 5/min/degree f and activity brings it to the higher end while sleeping drops it down.
