Question
Hi doctor, my sister’s three-year-old child always takes deep breaths. Should we be concerned about this situation?
Answer
Hello! Based on the medical history and age you provided, the possibility of organic disease is relatively low. If the child is tired most of the time, deep breathing may be more tiring, so there may not be significant organic issues. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and drink plenty of water, but a chest X-ray is suggested to rule out organic problems. The above suggestions are for “always taking deep breaths, saying he’s too tired, this is the first time in the past two days.” I hope this helps; wishing you health!
