Question
The child has been experiencing gasping, and checks for myocardial enzymes, echocardiogram, and ECG have all been normal. However, the gasping issue still persists. What diseases could it be related to, and how should it be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to have the child examined for lung function and airway responsiveness at a children’s hospital to determine if there is any airway obstruction or hyperreactivity causing severe pain. If any issues are found, treatment should be administered promptly and medication should be taken as instructed by the doctor. Considering the possibility of a cold accompanied by irregular heartbeat symptoms, it is suggested to undergo a 24-hour dynamic ECG check and chest X-ray to determine the cause of the illness and treat it symptomatically. At the same time, the child should rest more, avoid strenuous exercise, and actively prevent colds.
