What Causes Shortness Of Breath?
My 11 year daughter has recently been saying to me that she can t breathe and feels like she can t catch her breath. She says she tries to take deep breaths but can t and ends up breathing rapidly and shallow. I haven t seen this happen but she has told me about it a few times. She is a super healthy child and doesn t have asthma or any heart disease.

Hi,
Shortness in breath can be caused by the chest infection.
Do X-ray chest.
Also, take antibiotics like Azithromycin and bronchodilator with doctor's advise.
