Hi. My granddaughter is 4 1/2 mos old. She has a very stuffy nose and when she starts to fall asleep she cannot breath. She sounds like she is gasping. After sitting up for a while she seems a little better. We just noticed small tiny red dots on her chest, abdomen, arms and legs. Not too many.
Hi, By what you say I feel that she might be having a lower respiratory tract infection which could be either viral or bacterial. At this age, it could be acute bronchiolitis, and she will require medical attention or oxygen therapy also. I suggest you take her to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
