If a child has a respiratory illness, including pneumonia, their breathing rate often changes. Therefore, in cases where there are no clear symptoms, parents should monitor their child’s breathing rate to detect any abnormal signs in the respiratory system.

All parents are understandably anxious when their children exhibit rapid breathing, or experience choking or difficulty breathing. At night, as you listen to your infant's respiration, observe their facial expressions to identify any unusual signs and assess both the respiratory rate and other health conditions that may require timely intervention.
