What Could Feeling Of Tightness In Throat With Breathing Difficulty In A Child Indicate?
My nine year old is experiencing a tight feeling in her throat, and says breathing feels difficult. She does not have a history of any allergies, and isn t gasping or showing outward signs other than crying out of concern that it is going to worsen. I have given her a Benadryl and some caffeinated soda, and told her to just breathe slowly. Is it okay to just watch her? What should I watch for before calling a doctor?

Please look for any pain in throat and trouble eating or swallowing, rise of temperature, difficulty in breathing with wheezing sound, depression in front of throat on trachea along with movements of nasal area, dragging of breath and bluish ting around mouth, lips, and nail beds.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
