Treatment of air hunger depends on the cause (excellent list above). Bottom line is that many items on that list constitute medical emergencies, so get to an A&E if they look sick (pale, blue/dusky lips, blue/dusky tongue, sweating, cold to the touch, and especially if they can't speak full sentences or if they get exhausted), and get your doctor on the case if they don't .
