12 Month Old Wheezing?

My son does that also and he has asthma. He wheezes during play and it doesn't seem to bother him. I have to get him to sit for a bit because it bothers me. It just sounds like he is in disstress.
Plus the change in climit can bring it on. Is he retracting? Its the retracting that you have to worry more about. That means he is working way to hard to get air in. I take my son to a pulmary doctor and they where able to get it undercontrol.
I would really watch it and get him in soon. Good luck

Hi Beki,

Your son might have mild asthma. My daughter started coughing after running or playing hard right around 12 months. We found out that the culprit was asthma. Now, we have a breathing treatment for her if she starts coughing and wheezing. Make sure you ask your doctor for advice. We have something to give my daughter if we notice her starting to get a cold, as it very often develops into chest congestions. The meds prevent it from getting worse, and has been a real lifesaver.

Good luck with this, and I hope you are able to get some answers.

Sincerely,
L.

Im in Surrey, BC- kind of neighbors, my 9 month old is also doing this while crawling. Went to doc, he says shes clear, but Im still not convinced, I was just googling respiratory distress in infants, to find out how many breaths / minute, and also, take his shirt off and watch him breathe while you count the motion on his lower chest/ belly. His skin should NOT suck into the ribs at all, or at the throat, also nostrils flare when they are struggling. the air is cold and damp, I think thats whats causing difficulty. Get him checked out.

I agree. This is a symptom of both asthma and allergies. We can't diagnose via the Internet. lol And......untreated asthma can damage his lungs. You need a medical opinion.

How long have you lived at the higher altitude? Your bodies will eventually adjust and you won't feel it so much.

Call a doctor tomorrow and get him checked out. Sounds like asthma to me or allergies. Best wishes. :-)

get him checked for asthma. you moved from a warm place to a cold place and I am cold induced asthmatic. also make sure it isnt rsv

I would chalk it up to the altitude, the cold, the humidity, or all 3. If it doesn't go away in a few weeks, or if it gets a lot worse, check with your doctor.
