Hypoxia and Medicine

Child with Hypoxia Right Lung Infiltrate?

Daughter is 2 1/2 years old. She's been hospitalized 7 times since last June for breathing difficulties. 3 times with RSV, 2 of those times with pneumonia with the RSV, and the other times came along with a minor cold. Now it seems that she has problems breathing with really no other symptoms. She is fine normally. Can run and play fine with no problems. Doctors seem confused because she has oxygen levels around 84-86, breathing rate around 60 breaths per minute, but no fever, no cough, no signs of being sick. It will only last 1-2 days. She is going to see a specialist in a month. I was just wondering if anyone had a clue of something it could be. We haven't got a diagnosis yet.

1. Could be children's interstitial lung disease. Rare, but my daughter has a form of it, and your description sounds very similar to her. Good luck. http://www.childfoundation.us/whatischild.html
