But let inflammation of the air-tubes or lungs take place and the inspiration will become in a few hours so quickened and hurried and perhaps audible that the attention has only to be directed to the circumstance to be at once perceived.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oweUhph8ViA?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /> Now all changes which occur in the breathing from its healthy standard however slight the shades of difference may be, it is most important should be noticed early. For many of the complaints in the chest, although very formidable in their character, if only seen early by the medical man, may be arrested in their progress but otherwise, may be beyond the control of art. A parent, therefore, should make herself familiar with the <b>breathing of her child in health</b> and she will readily mark any change which may arise. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Cough</span><br /> <br /> Of cough I should not have said anything in this chapter as it can never fail to be noticed except that it is highly necessary to throw out one caution. Whenever a child has the symptoms of a common cold, attended by <b>hoarseness and a rough cough</b>, always look upon it with suspicion and never neglect seeking a medical opinion. Hoarseness does not usually attend a common cold in the child and these <b>symptoms</b> may be premonitory of an attack of "croup" a disease excessively rapid in its progress and which, from the importance of the parts affected, carrying on, as they do, a function indispensably necessary to life requires the most prompt and decided treatment.<br /> <br /> The following observations of Dr. Cheyne are so strikingly illustrative and so pertinent to my present purpose, that I cannot refrain inserting them, "In the approach of an attack of croup, which almost always takes place in the evening, <b>probably of a day during which the child has been exposed to the weather</b> and often after catarrhal symptoms have existed for several days, he may be observed to be excited in variable spirits more ready than usual to laugh than to cry, a little flushed, occasionally coughing, the sound of the cough being rough, like that which attends the catarrhal stage of the measles. <br /> <br /> More generally, however, the patient has been for some time in bed and asleep, before the nature of the disease with which he is threatened is apparent. Then, perhaps, without waking, he gives a <b>very unusual cough</b>, well known to anyone who has witnessed an attack of the croup. It rings as if the child had coughed through a brazen trumpet. It is truly a tussis clangosa. It penetrates the walls and floor of the apartment and startles the experienced mother. 'Oh! I am afraid our child is taking the croup!' She runs to the nursery, finds her child sleeping softly and hopes she may be mistaken. But remaining to tend him before long the ringing cough, <b>a single cough</b> is repeated again and again. The patient is roused, and then a new symptom is remarked. The sound of his voice is changed. Puling and as if the throat were swelled it corresponds with the cough etc.<br /> <br /> How important that a mother should be acquainted with the above signs of one of the most terrific complaints to which childhood is subject for, if she only send for medical assistance during its first stage, the treatment will be almost invariably successful whereas, if this "golden opportunity" is lost, this disease will seldom yield to the influence of measures, however wisely chosen or perseveringly employed.<br /> <br /> I hope this will give an idea about <b>signs of disease like breathing and coughing in babies especially new born</b>.
