my 75 days old son has the following symptoms
breathing rate--- he has a fast breathing rate,,,,color changes---- the colour of his nails is blue sometimes -- grunting ---- he gruntns while he takes every breath.... nose flareing---- his nose flares while takeing breath....retractions
The chest appears to sink in just below the breastbone with each breath - one way of trying to bring more air into the lungs
sweating
There is be increased sweat on the head, but the skin does not feel warm to the touch. More often, the skin may feel cool or clammy. This may happen when the breathing rate is very fast.-
wheezing
A tight, whistling or musical sound heard with each breath he takes .so all this symptoms have been there since the day he has been born.therefore i took my son to a pediatric he saw all the symptoms and refered my kid to an EAR NOSE THROAT sepeclist.so the ENT seplist after seeing my kid has told that they will do a DLS on my kid. What i as made to understand was there will be a small pipe type of thing which the doctor will be incerting through the mouth of the baby.
now my question are
1. what are this sypmtons of my kid? what is the problem with the child ?
2.what is the solution?
3 what is this DLS? and is it ok for a 75 days old baby to undergo this test?
4. what are the risk envolved in this test?
5. should i go for this test or not?what if i want to avoid this test for the baby?
