hi, my 3 year old daughter s breathing seems rather quick -- 60 breathes per minute. She is sick right now (complains of a tummy ache and is on antibiotics for MRSA staph). She had RSV one year ago, and it seems that since then, whenever she gets sick, she breathes rapidly. Should this be a concern?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Can understand your concerns. - Rapid breathing rate of around 60 per minute is very high at 3 year of age. It suggests that child has pneumonia, and she is not responding to antibiotics which you are already giving for MRSA staph infection.- Child needs to be hospitalized and blood culture and CRP levels should be repeated. - Further treatment will depend on above reports. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
