What causes cough and difficulty in breathing in children?
Patient: My 3 almost 4 year old has had a slight cough for a week or so. Then a few days ago I noticed him taking a lot of deep breaths. Then yesterday he started doing it every couple seconds. Doc checked him out and said he was fine, hospital checked him out and said he was fine. I am 28 and have had the same problem a few times in my life, around age 25-28. I was allergic to everything growing up and wondr if it could be allergies making him heard to breath? Doctor: Hi...By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. Unless the doctor diagnoses wheeze, you need not worry till then.Regards - DR.
