What Causes Shortness Of Breath?

My 11 year daughter has recently been saying to me that she can t breathe and feels like she can t catch her breath. She says she tries to take deep breaths but can t and ends up breathing rapidly and shallow. I haven t seen this happen but she has told me about it a few times. She is a super healthy child and doesn t have asthma or any heart disease.

Hi,

Shortness in breath can be caused by the chest infection.

Do X-ray chest.

Also, take antibiotics like Azithromycin and bronchodilator with doctor's advise.

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