Pneumonia in infants is a very dangerous condition. If not detected and treated early, pneumonia will cause danger and health complications for the child later. One of the signs of pneumonia in infants is rapid breathing.

Rapid breathing is a respiratory symptom. Newborns have an unstable breathing rate, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, because the nervous system that controls breathing is not yet fully developed. An important characteristic of transient tachypnea is that the baby's breathing rate is faster than normal.
