to tell DH that he needs to take dd to the doctor himself for second opinions if he's never satisfied with what they say first time?

DH drives me mad with this: DD had viral wheeze/asthma-like symptoms as a baby, these seem to be disappearing as she gets older and are well-controlled with inhalers but we're both vigilant to the point of paranoia about colds etc and any evidence of wheeze or cough and she tends to get whipped to the GP to be checked out.
DD has a viral infection at the moment, cough and cold. Its not the worst, she's coughing a lot at night, a bit distressing but standard stuff. She's already been to the GP about it, GP said the usual things, its a virus, will go away on its own etc. DH is demanding a second opinion, saying he's not satisfied with this, they're not doing proper investigations etc. Thinks it might be an allergy etc. (last week even suggested she was sick because she'd been to Softplay on a cold day which is ridiculous).
I'm really getting tired of this, he does this more or less every time she's ill, gets in a state, disbelieves the doctor when the doctor says its just a virus and demands to get a second opinion. And because I work from home most of the time and he doesn't get paid if he takes time off work its always me that has to go back for the second opinions. I've got no problem with being vigilant and double checking on my child's health but AIBU to think that there's no point having a relationship with your GP in the first place if you think everything he/she says is rubbish and to tell him if he doesn't trust the GP its up to him to find one he likes?
