Small children’s gasping for air is usually caused by physiological conditions such as exercise, as well as pathological conditions such as allergic asthma and myocarditis.
1. Physiological conditions: small children may experience gasping for air after running, jumping rope and other exercises, which usually eases gradually after rest.
2. Pathological conditions: small children may suffer from allergic asthma if they are allergic, and may wheeze after exposure to allergens; small children may also wheeze because of myocarditis, usually accompanied by palpitations, chest pain and other symptoms.
There may also be other reasons for a child’s wheezing, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for a complete examination and treatment with the help of a doctor to clarify the cause.
