I've posted before about DS (12 months) and his chest problems. We ended up taking him to the Childrens hospital A&E last night after I picked him up from nursery and they said his chest had been bad the last hour or so and it continued to deteriorate.
DS is hacking coughing and struggling to catch his breath at alot of the time, including a lot during the drs examination. They listeded to his chest and said there was nothing to hear so he was fine and wait for an out patients appointment at the end of September.
He's back in nursery today and I've just spoken to them, his wheeze is now significantly worse so I've made an emergency GPs appointment for him in a hour. I don't know what the GPs can do for him, but have I done the right thing?
We did not feel reassured at all last night at the hospital and he's in such distress when he can't get his breath. Is there anything I can push for? I'm not very good at standing my ground and making a fuss so this is new to me
