Your daughter was born before her lungs were developed and there is a pattern of premature lung disease which typically improves with time. As she grows, the lung grows and adds new units called alveoli. Wheezing, cough may occur with lung infections. Was she on home Oxygen and when was she discharged from the hospital? Discuss COVID 19 vaccination with your pediatrician.
