My son (4) is ill again, and whenever he is ill he suffers terribly with his breathing. The GP has sent him into hospital three times over the last 6 months to get help relieving his symptoms. This normally involves nebulisers and then a couple of times steroids as well. Finally last week he was given a preventer inhaler as well as the reliever inhaler we've had for a while. Tonight he has been bad again, I have literally been awake all night whilst he tosses and turns with heavy breathing and a cough. He isn't doing the muscle sucking in thing which has happened in the past, but his resp rate and pulse are slightly elevated even whilst asleep. Should I take him to A & E? He's been to the GP with the same symptoms many more times than he's been to the hospital and they send him home and say use the inhaler more (which I've done tonight). He's asleep now but so unsettled, I just feel worried but also feel it will be another case of 'rid it out'. Any paediatric professionals able to offer advice please?
