Question
A four-year-old child often has short breaths, more frequently at night, with no other symptoms.
Answer
Based on the description of the condition, cardiovascular issues can be ruled out. It is recommended to properly educate the child and encourage them to engage in outdoor activities. If there is no myocardial damage, the possibility of hiccups being caused by psychological factors is high. Attention should be paid to redirecting the child’s attention and avoiding deliberate questioning or stopping the hiccups.
