My granddaughter 3 years old is a week from having a acute pneumonia episode. Was hospitalized for 2 days found out she had walking pneumonia the mycoplasma and the prior medication was ampicillin IV and was changed to Zithromax on second admission. she got better was discharged. 7 days later during sleep noticed her taking quick 2 breaths after breathing normal for a short time, appetite good no fever good activity. Should we be alarmed?

Hi
Isolated episode of 2 quick breath, there is nothing to be worried about.
If the following criteria are fulfilled there is absolutely nothing to be worried about
1. Absence of fever
2. Normal respiration
3. Accepting feeds well
4. No other signs of respiratory distress.
Take Care
Best Regards
