Took DD (9 months) to doctor (locum) on Monday because she had had a horrible cough all weekend. After listening to her chest he said he could hear fluid in there and she had bronchitis.
He prescribed antibiotics but said I could give it 24 hours to see if she was improving before giving her any.
I didn't like the idea of her taking antibiotics so left it. She has been sounding much better and this morning made another appointment to get him to listen again and see if it sounded better. Couldn't get the same doc but instead got DD's usual one. I explained to her why I was there and she said that according to the notes DD's chest was clear.
Why would the locum tell me she had bronchitis and prescribe antibiotics if her chest was clear?
