Is it normal for a common cold to cause rapid heart rate and shortness of breath in a 4 year old?

Dr. Brad Goldenberg answered

Should not: If by common cold you refer to rhinovirus infection, primary signs and symptoms should not include those of a severe upper or lower respiratory infection, but can under some circumstances. This should be investigated with a chest x-ray and full examination if encountered clinically
