Dd is 16 months, she is prone to chest infections after a bout of bronchiolitis as a baby.
She started on antibiotics for a chest infection before Christmas. Over Christmas she got worse and I took her back to the docs last Thursday which was the last day of her course of antibiotics.
Was told the chest infection still there and she was given another course of different antibiotics.
She improved a bit over the first couple of days but now on day 5 of the 7 day course she is still rattling quite audibly when breathing and coughing quite a bit.
She's not worse but is not better either. Is still sleeping very badly due to coughing waking her up.
Shall I wait till this course of antibiotics is finished and take her back wed if no improvement or take her today to get checked before the bank hol tomorrow?
