What Causes Breathing Rate Of 40-43 Breaths Per Minute In Child?
We are traveling out of the country and I can't get a hold of our doctor. My daughter's breathing rate is 40-43 breaths per minute while she is sound asleep. What should I do? She has had a cough for the last few weeks and some mild cold symptoms in the last few days. We took her to the doctor a few weeks ago to check the cough and they said it was fine

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please get back to me with birth date of the child.
If your daughter is less than 2 months a respiratory rate of up to 60 is normal. If she is between 2 months and 2 years a respiratory rate of 50 is normal and above 2 years up to 40 is normal. Please decide and get back to me.
