What Causes Heavy Breathing And Fever In An Infant?
18 month old is breathing heavy like he is struggling to breath in his sleep. Started yesterday morning and got worse through the day. Fever of 101.4 with a little coughing but mostly the breathing. Doesn t sound high pitched like croup. Don t think its related but he recently developed tiny raised bumps on his legs. Don t seem to bother him and scab over quickly.
