What Could Causes Breathing Problem In 1 Year Old?
Could my daughter 1 yo have acute asthma attack? While lying on her back she was gasping for air, she was quite panicked and crying. Her heart rate and breathing increased and she had obvious retracting. Her lips we cyanotic during this episode. I had picked her upright and took her outside to distract her and she calmed down. She is currently being treated for acute tonsilitis, sinus infection and strep throat, but is on day 7 of her anitibiotics and seemingly on the mend. This attack came out of nowhere. Any thougths?
this description is less likely to be asthma that too if it is the first episode. looks like more of a airway obstruction caused by some mucous plug, drying of the airway could cause thick secretions. this together with some cough suppressant could ve caused such a cyanotic spell. other than that, a viral bronchiolitis can cause such a symptom. but just because she is already on treatment, this is less likely
