Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Deep cough, chest pain and breathlessness are commonly seen in lung infection (pneumonia) and bronchitis. So the child in the play might have pneumonia or bronchitis.
You need to consult pulmonologist for that child.
Child will need
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out pneumonia.
PFT is needed to rule bronchitis. Based on the diagnosis, the child will need antibiotics or inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Thanks.
