Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your daughter's history and would like to make suggestions for her as follows:
1. There are many possible causes for breathing problems in children. They can be as simple as
allergic rhinitis or
anemia or more serious such as
asthma or other lung/heart disorders.
2. As your daughter's previous health is almost good, please do not think of any serious cause at present. Please follow a step by step approach for identifying the cause.
3. Were I treating her, I would take her history of symptoms in great details which would guide me towards possible diagnosis.
4. In general, I would suggest complete blood counts with
ESR. If she has repeated/longstanding nose symptoms, I would treat her for allergic rhinitis with antihistamines &
montelukast. If her symptoms are suggestive of asthma, I would suggest her spirometry/PEFR testing and would treat accordingly. If she does not have any of above, I would advise chest
X ray and also would think of stress-related causes such as
anxiety, etc.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish your daughter the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
