Hi! I have a 6 month old baby who started with a cold last Thursday which then developed into wheezing and sucking in at the ribs on Sunday so I took him to A&E where they said he has bronchiolitis, his oxygen levels were okay and he had taken 50% of his usual milk so they were happy to send him home and let him "ride it out". Yesterday his wheeze got worse and was constant and he was sucking in at the ribs still so I took him back to A&E who again said his oxygen is fine and sent him home again and said it was all normal for bronchiolitis. Today he is still sucking in at the ribs and everything online says that's a sign of respiratory distress but I'm not sure what to do because it's no worse than the other two times where they have just sent him home. He's very alert when he's awake and has taken some milk this morning so I was just wondering is the sucking under the ribs a normal part of bronchiolitis like what they are saying or should I keep pushing them to help?
