A frightened facial expression and posture that indicates the child can't relax.
Restless sleep.
Coughing, particularly at night.
Sweating, pale skin, rapid breathing and flaring of the nostrils.
Labored breathing with the lips pursed.
Vomiting and fatigue.
Sunken areas between the ribs or in the neck.
