A member asked:

My 2 year old son is breathing fast and his hot what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go to ER: When children are running a fever and breathing rapidly they need to be seen right away. Go to the emergency. You don't want to take any chances. Children can get very sick quite quickly. Hope your son gets better soon. Don't wait.
