Question

My child has been having difficulty breathing for about two years, not every day, just occasionally. We haven’t seen a doctor yet. When she can’t breathe, she has to take deep breaths to feel better, and sometimes she has to take deep breaths while sleeping.

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be experiencing shortness of breath. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a medical consultation. The doctor will conduct a detailed examination based on the child’s condition to determine if asthma or other related diseases are present. With a proper diagnosis, the doctor can develop an appropriate treatment plan to prevent the condition from worsening and affecting the child’s growth and development. Please take your child to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
