Infant pneumonia how many times a minute to breathe

Infants with pneumonia breathe about 30 to 40 times a minute, which is the normal range. If the child has severe pneumonia, he or she may breathe faster, and the number of breaths may increase during fever. If this is accompanied by cyanosis, shortness of breath, or shortness of breath, the possibility of combined cardiopulmonary failure cannot be ruled out. If the respiratory rate is within the normal range and the child is coughing and coughing up sputum, it is a mild pneumonia. It is recommended to observe the child’s respiratory rate, drink more water, eat a light diet, and actively treat the child according to medical advice.
