Dd (21 months) has been sick the past couple of days. Chesty cough, snotty nose, temperature. She tends to get sick like this quite often, has been given inhalers with asthma being most likely diagnosis but obviously cant be confirmed due to her age.
She's woken up from a late nap about an hour ago and has sobbed since. Doesn't want to be put down, withering round and slightly jerky/jittery. Phoned nhs 111, told me to see my gp. Gp has no appointments, so waiting on phone consultation instead.
Aibu to ignore nhs 111 who have said theyre not overly worried and trust my gut and take her the walk in? It could just be stomach cramps but i've never seen her this upset and she usually just rides out her sickness, never reacted like this before

I really do thing they put something in the doctors and hospitals that affect children.

They can look like they are at deaths door at home yet the minute they walk through doors of any medical facility, it’s like they make a mockery of you. They dance and sing and act like nothing is wrong

Op my Dd had similar for months on end and was in hospital multiple times with it. She had a similar diagnosis. We stopped giving her dairy and she's fine now, could you maybe try cutting down on dairy?
For now though, I would take her in just in case. My DD was kept overnight a few times as her oxygen was quite low.
