What Causes Rapid Shallow Breathing While Sleeping?

my son was breathing fast and while sleeping and his snoring sounded different than usual. I checked on him and he was foaming at the mouth. I woke him up and asked if he was okay and he said yes and fell back asleep. He seems okay now. What caused the breathing and foaming?

Hello,

As you explain the situation it might be normal do not worry so much. If it repeats than search for a viral condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
