Is Hard Time Catching The Breath After Crying In An Infant A Serious Concern?
my son is 18 months old when he cries he sometimes has a hard time catching his breath. Today it happened twice and lips went blue but finally took a breath after a 1 min. Is there a easy way to catch his breath faster my dr said it should go away eventually and has no bad effects
