Hi Andre,
I was a little restrictive in my post and said that it does not work for all cases. It will be so good!
I learnt with Philippe JOUD in Lyon who is a respiratory PT specialist. I learnt firstly with a stethoscope but I put immediately my hands to feel the sound of secretions. With time comes experience.
Normally a lung sounds and if it doesn't then you have a big problem => pleurisy, pneumonia...
Listen to the medical context (tooth...) and look carefully to the baby. A baby which is crying is rarely so ill as we were told => complete by an examination.
