Is Shortness Of Breath While Suffering From Fever A Concern In Children?
hi good day! my baby is now 1yr and 7mos.. his new born screening results had g6pd abnormality. i was not able to have a confirmatory test. i was informed this is almost normal to all babies so it skipped my mind. im a single mom. my baby has normal weight and height im giving him vitamins ferlin and ceelin. when he had fever, i gave him tempra. there was one point though that he had shortness of breath after a high fever. it lasted for hours only. i took him to a pedia once when his fever lasted for 3days. he had a cbc and the pedia gave him a medicine for infection since he had colds that time. is there something that i should worry about? he s a little bit pale though.
First, you should go for confirmation of G6PD abnormality. If test comes positive, it means your child have risk of aberrant hemolysis.
Any stress to body like infection, some drugs, operative procedure can leads to hemolysis and this may lead to complications. So, you should continue medicine given by peads and you need to be more watchful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
