Suggest treatment for breathing problems
Patient: Hello Doctor, my son 8.5 yrs old suffering from breathing problem from last 7.5 yrs. He had undergone adenoids and tonsils operation 2 yrs back. Still he raises his head every now & then for gasping. He can not stand straight even for 0.5 minute , he needs to bend his neck in backward direction to reduce congection in his neck. He always complaint of having pain in the neck near throat. I have shown this to many doctors, MRI scanning of his brain , barium swallow tests is done, neurological test and sight tests are also done All tests and reports are normal. My son is living normal life even having this big health problem and he never complains about it. We have stopped showing this to the doctors since it was not getting diagnosed by anyone! But now a days frequency of his raising head for gasping has been drastically increased. He is in 3rd std. now. Though is bright student at school , he losses concentarion because of this health problem. Please help Regards, Kishor Sonawane 0000 Doctor: Hi,  As you explain the history probably if I were his doctor in my opinion asthma or bronchitis should be excluded as a potential cause of his breathlessness. Please discuss with his doctor for this.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Jnikolla,  Pulmonologist
