A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A 2 year-old who is breathing hard and is pulling in between his ribs should be examined by a doctor now. He may be having asthma symptoms, bronchiolitis symptoms, or pneumonia. After the doctor evaluates him, he may or may not be cleared to return home, with follow-up dependent on how severe his symptoms are, and on what his diagnosis and past medical history is.
