What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Hyperventilation In A Child?
My five month old sounds like she is hyperventilating. It goes to a point when she seems uncomfortable and she cries. It sometimes take a about a minute to calm down and start breathing normal again. When it happens she is always laying on her back. Should I be concerned?

Hi...this cannot be deemed as hyperventilation. Hyperventilation something related to mind and is not a physical phenomenon as far as its origin is concerned. So the question of hyperventilation does not arise in a 5 month old infant. This could be a central type of breathing. I suggest you video graph it and take the video before you consult your pediatrician.
