My 17 month old child has had a history of respiratory concerns and has now had a bad cold with cough for two weeks. He woke this morning with a hard cough and a wheezing sound as he inhaled. He also was having a challenge taking a full breath. He has no fever but is quite con jested. does it require medial attention?

Hello. Thank you for your question. A patient of any age who has difficulty breathing for any reason, must be evaluated by a doctor. I would consult your doctor as soon as possible.
