Specializes in Pediatrics

Consult her pediatri: Children with the flu are much more vulnerable to complications, such as pneumonia. Painful breathing could be a sign of pneumonia, it could also be related to muscle pain from severe coughing episodes. She needs to be checked, don't take any chances.

Feeling a little of shortness of breath at times, since it's a flu season and currently a coronavirus as well, is that a symptom alone for covid-19? Don't have a fever or any other symptoms and haven't travelled as well.
