- 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.
