What Causes Deep Breathing In Children ?
I have a 4-5 year old daughter that takes deep breaths often during the day. This was just pointed out to me recently. Does not seem to bother her and it appears she may not be aware she is doing so. This does not happen when she sleeps. Also when playing sports I haven't noticed this at all. Should I be concerned?

hi,
this is quite common in young children. if she has no other symptoms then it is nothing to be concerned about and she will likely grow out if it.
best wishes
