Doctor's answer:
Integrate your narrative, considering the child's situation with hyperventilation syndrome. Hyperventilation syndrome is an abnormal adjustment of the respiratory center, where hyperventilation occurs below the physiological metabolic needs, leading to it. Explain to the patient the relationship between symptoms and hyperventilation, reduce the patient's mental burden, and completely eliminate the fear of hyperventilation; practice diaphragmatic breathing and slow breathing, by slowing the breathing rate, increase or completely eliminate the tendency of hyperventilation; use a mask to interfere with ventilation, repeatedly inhale carbon dioxide from the mask, to correct.
