Question
A four-year-old child often sighs frequently at night without any other symptoms. Additional Information 1: The child frequently feels short of breath, more so at night, with no other symptoms. Additional Information 2: The child’s diet is normal.
Answer
Based on the medical description, sighing due to cardiovascular issues can be ruled out. It’s not uncommon for children to sigh habitually. It is recommended to appropriately educate the child but not to overremind them. It is suggested to encourage the child to engage in more outdoor activities. If heart muscle damage has been ruled out after examination, it may be due to psychological factors. It is recommended to shift the child’s attention more often in daily life and not to inquire or stop the sighing.
