Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: HIccups in an otherwise healthy child are normal. If they continue, an investigation of his breathing pattern and a muscle called the diaphragm which separates the chest and abdomen may be performed. A virtual consult is available www. healthtap,com/DosanjhMD Code; NCYHPZ
