About Breathing Difficulty in Child in Delhi
Laboured, rapid, or noisy breathing in a child, which may show as chest retractions, flaring nostrils, grunting, or visible effort with each breath. This is considered a medical emergency in children because their airways are small and can narrow or obstruct quickly. It requires immediate assessment to identify and treat the underlying cause.
