Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Other conditions should be excluded and your shortness of breath with acute early morning onset is of concern. Please see your PCP or an acute urgent care center. An imaging study and measurements of oxygenation may be obtained. You may be experiencing an asthma attack or allergic reaction. Monitor your temperature, stay well hydrated and please follow up.
