My DD1 (10) had asthma diagnosed when she was about 4, until 2 years ago when she was prescribed Piriton she had 3 or 4 chest infections a year, after taking Piriton it's now about 1 or 2 a year.
This involves her being so out of breath she can't walk up the stairs/talk, really listless, pale, coughing all day/night.
It's awful to see your normally energetic DC regularly in such a state.
I've estimated that she's probably had 20 odd chest infections so far, so I know the symptoms very well because they're the same every time.
I took her to the Doctors this morning and when he asked me what he could do for us I said 'I think she has another chest infection', and he said 'Don't tell me she has a chest infection, I'll tell you what's wrong with her', and to say he was annoyed would be an understatement.
The reason this phrase made me angry (and I'm paraphrasing what I said to him) was because sometimes when I've taken her along saying the same thing (not sure how many times), they've said 'It's just a cold making her asthma worse, antibiotics won't help'.
So we've gone away, the asthma has got worse and we go back two days later (after watching her suffer), they give us antibios and it starts clearing up after another couple of days.
I know it's not just a cold and the antibios aren't just coincidently working, and I understand Doctors don't like people googling symptoms and telling them their job, but I don't see this as the same thing.
I just see it as easier for me to say 'I think she has a chest infection' than go through the same thing every single time, he can confirm she has or that he thinks she doesn't.
The Doctor we saw was one of two we see, we've been going for 8 years, I trust him because he's always so caring and doesn't rush you.
I was angry at the time but didn't raise my voice or let it creep into my tone. I'm sure of this. By the end of the appointment he was talking really kindly to us as per normal.
But now I'm upset at the way he was, perhaps he was having a bad day or is generally pissed off at me saying she has a chest infection and not phrasing it as 'Her asthma is bad'. Perhaps he just had some bad news or something? I don't know 
DD1 was 
at him, and says she's glad I spoke up and said something, she also believes he was shitty straight off (and not because I've spun it that way to her).
So was IBU to say 'I think she has a chest infection'? Given that I know DD1's asthma like the back of my hand, and if I go away without antibios DD1 has another at least 4 days of agonising breathing.
Was I right to answer the Doctor back and explain why I said it? He didn't take it very well, but I thought he was out of order at the time.
I'm dreading her being ill again with it, I don't really want to change doctors after all this time, and as I've said I really trust and like the practice, how can I deal with it?
I'm totally open to being told I was unreasonable, and I would appreciate objective views.
Sorry it's long, I'm trying not to drip feed.
