Symptom #8: High-Pitched Breathing
Breathing should be effortless for us. After all, we need to be doing it all day, every day. The air should be able to pass through our air-passages easily. So easily, that we don’t even notice it is happening. If breathing does become harder than it should be then it is a clear sign that something is wrong.
One way to tell that a young child is having breathing difficulties is by the sound of their breathing. If they are making a high-pitched sound then it indicates that the air is being forced through a passage that is too narrow for comfort. If you do notice this happening, you should make sure your child gets medical help as soon as possible.
