DD3 (7mo) has had a cold for over two weeks and it has been particularly heavy for the past few days. She is OK. A bit of a temp over the weekend. Not always eating great but certainly has enough to keep going. Tires easily but then she is waking up with her snottiness. Anyway, I'm totally fine with all of that.

But... The past couple of days her cough has sounded worse and her breathing sounds quite bubbly. I can feel the vibrations in the lower left part of her chest. She seems to clear some of it when she coughs but not all of it. Does she need to have her chest listened to or will it pass?

Doctor ASAP.

Sorry, just realised that might look a bit alarming! I have no expertise at all, but I would certainly get her to he docs for bubbly breathing.

Yep get to the doctors x

Agree, docs.

Yes, definitely a GP visit, she might have a secondary bacterial infection and need some antibiotics

Alright, I'll call the GP. Thanks for responses.

Just to update - we went to the GP who prescribed antibiotics and an ipratropium inhaler. She is slowly improving.
