Question

My child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I want to know the normal heart rate range for a 4-year-old.

Answer

For children aged 3 to 4, the normal heart rate at rest is between 70 to 90 beats per minute. If you’re concerned about your child’s health, it’s advisable to take them to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, parents should ensure that children maintain an easily digestible and absorbable diet and develop good hygiene habits. If a child is diagnosed with kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and take measures such as gastrointestinal decompression. At the same time, parents should avoid allowing their children to be picky or have a preference for certain foods, maintaining a reasonable dietary structure.
