Six Subtle Signs Child is Having Difficulty Breathing

If your child is doing one of these, that’s a sign that they have increased “work of breathing” - meaning it’s time to get them to see their doctor.  This does NOT mean that you need to panic - I’m showing you these, because some can be subtle, and parents don’t know what to look for unless they’re trained. NOW you can also know how to recognize these while they’re still early and subtle, and get your kiddo seen. ALSO, if you know what these are, you can use the words describing them, when talking to your physician and nurse, as that helps us give your child the best care, when we all are using the same vocabulary.  For reference: “Normal” breathing rate (breaths / minute), per age NOTE: always count the breathing for a full 60 seconds! 0-6 months: 35-55 breaths / minute  1-3 years: 25-45 3-6 years: 20 - 30 6-12 years: 16-24 12-18 years: 12-16 Got Qs?  Quick reference - if you’re in the thick of respiratory virus season at home, comment GUIDE and I’ll share my cold and flu first aid guide page. (It’s free. Just providing it because it answers so many of the Qs we docs get - and can help make parents’ lives easier) :)  Video credits (in order) @Tinyhearts (head bobbing) Larry B.
