Hello expert, what is going on here? Is it serious? What kind of tests should be done?
Doctor's answer:
The child often struggles to breathe, and it has been like this for about two years. It's not every day, but occasionally. She hasn't seen a doctor yet. Whenever she struggles to breathe, she needs to take deep breaths to feel better. Sometimes, even while sleeping, she has to take deep breaths to relieve the discomfort.Recommendation: Based on your situation, it's possible that the child's mother has asthma, and the child might also have asthma. I suggest you take her to the hospital for a follow-up examination and additional tests to diagnose whether it is asthma. This will help guide medication and prevent the child's breathing difficulties from causing other diseases that interfere with her growth and development. Please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
I hope my explanation brings you some relief, and I wish I could help you.
