Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulty In A Child
My 4 1/2 month daughter started to scream and choke, gasping for breath when my husband laid down to change her. After that she cried/screamed uncontrollably for a long time. When she lays on her back she can hardly breath, sitting up right she is better. What should I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter here because of the crying she must be having breathing difficulty because this is very common condition seen in pediatric age group, another is due to bronchial spasm child cries, both the condition need to be differentiated and for that you have to get done the clinical examination, if this is due to crying then no need to worry about this and for second cause need medical attention, take care.
