Hello,
I can understand your concern. It is possible that your daughter might be suffering from asthma or lung disease.
I would advise you to take her to pulmonologist. She may have to go for blood tests, x-ray and pulmonary function test. Based on test results, diagnosis can be confirmed and treatment can be decided.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for trusting HCM for your concern. I wish your daughter feels better soon!
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
