My Son Is Having Cough From Last 3 Days, Now
Question: My son is having cough from last 3 days, now cough has suppressed but he is taking heavy breathing. He is 11 months old. Can you please
Brief Answer:
Could be wheezing
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
11 month old with heavy breathing usually is because of viral infection of air passages called as bronchiolitis . Here the cough may be less , but don’t ignore heavy breathing.
I would suggest you to take him to nearby clinic or hospital and get him examined . He may benefit from nebulisation after checking his throat and chest .
Sometimes this takes even a week for this condition to improve .
Better not to delay
Wishing your child speedy recovery
