Depends on what you mean by breathing problems, but no matter what you mean, it's potentially serious, so you'll have to take some action. Let's discuss options:
If you mean coughing or Asthma that you're already aware of and is already being treated, continue the treatment your doctor recommended. When in doubt phone your doc or an ER to get more information. DON'T wait. And if you aren't sure, act.
If the child is choking, start on clearing that. Check the throat for obstructions. Heimlich maneuver is well accepted.
If your child isn't breathing at all, FIRST get someone calling 911, second start rescue breathing (the reason for this is that, no matter how good you are at rescue breathing, eventually you'll tire -- good to have some back-up coming).
If it's anything more serious consider a 911 call. Breathing problems can be very serious indeed.
Note that the faster you react, the better the outcome.

∙ 12y agoIf a child has an asthma attack, you have two main aims. These are:
- Ease the child's breathing
- Get emergency help if needed
For the first aim, many things can help. Reassure the child in order to relax them. Make sure they sit down, and if you are indoors open a door or a window to get fresh air in. If their inhaler is available, get them to take the inhaler. Encourage them to breathe steadily and deeply (saying "breathe from the stomach" or "breathe so your tummy moves" can help with this).
If the attack is serious and isn't passing, call emergency services.

∙ 12y agoThe best way to help someone with suddenly developing breathing problems is to get them to medical attention as soon as possible. If they are not breathing, CPR or mouth breathing for them may be appropriate, but that should be performed only by people who have been properly trained in the process.

Does having adjustments help with breathing problems?
Adjustments, more commonly known as spinal manipulation, may be able to help some breathing problems. The biggest determinant will be what is causing the breathing problems. Spinal manipulation can increase the mobility of the thoracic spine and ribs which can make breathing easier. Also, manipulation may increase the function of muscles involved in breathing, again, making breathing easier. However, spinal manipulation has not been shown with scientific research to affect airway obstructions caused by asthma, allergies, emphysema, etc. Thus, if your breathing problems are purely mechanical (rib or spine dysfunction) then spinal manipulation will likely help 100%. If your breathing problems are caused by a conditions such as asthma, the spinal manipulation may make breathing a bit easier and improve quality of life, but it will not solve your problems...you will still need medical care.
