What Causes Chills, Mild Shivering And Difficulty In Breathing In A Child?

Please please help
Possibility of a conversion reaction needs to be considered
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
The symptoms you quote might fit into wheezing, but the thing is it won’t come like that only while resting and eating. Keeping in mind the age and gender of the kid, I feel you should consider hyperventilation and other conversion reaction like symptoms. But I reiterate the fact that this is a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out all other physical diagnoses.
I am considering this diagnosis as the symptoms you quote do not fit perfectly into any known clinical syndrome. What I mean is that one and one should add up to two while considering symptoms as a whole and when these things don't add up we need to consider conversion reaction. I suggest you see your pediatrician regarding this.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
