What Causes Gasping For Air While Breathing In Infants?

We are currently on vacation in Austin we are originally from El Paso Texas. I noticed my 3 year old daughter keeps gasping for air every few min. Not sure if it is something serious, but I m definitely worried about it especially becaause my mom and grandma have heart mermers and this was one of their symptoms.

Hello,

As you explain the situation if this is a normal situation of your daughter I strongly suggest you to sent her to ER and they will decide after examining her if this is something to worry about or not.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
