A member asked:
Is it unusual for a child who is having shortness of breath,sub costal recession ,difficult noisy breathing,wheeze since 10 days but not mch coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That pattern is typical for a lower respiratory infection and or asthma. The need for treatment would depend on how it interferes with the kids regular activities. If playful and feeding well, monitor.I may gradually improve.If it interferes with feeding/play and or the kid looks sick, get it checked.
