Thank you for asking!
Children heartbeat at a faster pace than adults. So no worries for that. Now the air hunger is worrisome.On and off fever further confirms it as an infection. Age of 2 years with such presentation most likely to be a bronchiolitis or any other respiratory infection. All the kid needs is some antibiotic we recommend IV ceftriaxone in our setup with 6 hourly adrenaline and ventolin nebulization and thats it. Kids respond in a matter of hours. No worries. Recovery rate is 100 percent.
Take care
