my daughter sounds like shes creaking when she breathes a and e or not ?

[whoopsididitagain]

she has had a bit off a cough dbut doc wasnt worried now when she breathes out its really wheeze in a creaking way and when she coughs its very rattley

she is very subdued too but has no temp
she has had 5 ml of benylin dont no what else to do

what age is she? how fast is she breathing? does she look like she's struggling to breath?

if you're at all concerned then can you phone NHS 24?

If she seems to have any difficulty at all with breathing, I would get to A&E - sounds nastily wheezy to me on the little you describe.

shes 2
not breathing overly fast
will try nhs in mean time

she is seriously whistling now though

you can always try to let them hear it down the phone - I've done that before

I've got 2 dc with asthma - would certainly hit a&e. they can get better at amazing speed, and equally get worse just as fast. Would rather be in A&E and risk being a neurotic mother than stay home and worry.

A&E wrap her up v warm

got emergency medical on phone

have tried the phone thing but she said she couldnt here it

what did she advice? are you taking her in?

emergency doc is calling back asap so thinkwe will have to go to the emergercy medical centre but wont know til they call back

can you check whether her skin is 'sucking in' between her ribs? are her nostrils flaring? is the skin at the base of her neck by her collar bone sucking in? I always take my ds to hospital when this happens. If she's seriously whistling you really need to take her. Better safe. xx

in the meantime can you get her into the bathroom and get the shower & hot tap on and steam up the room a bit?

I have just taken my DS (7 months) to A&E about the same thing. They checked him over (we made an appointment with HUC and told us he was fine in about 5 minutes.)

He's still coughing and breathing like an old man with a liking for bensons, but at least we know he's OK.

Call your Urgent care dept. (The out of hours Docs will put you through)

Chest problems are so difficult in toddlers... They will probably want to listen to her chest, I would think.

If you are concerned in any way, please take her to A&E.

If she is listless, cold, lips or fingers are blue.

Lift her clothes and she how hard she is breathing. Is she recessing (pulling in) under her ribs.

Is her breathing shallow or fast.

With little ones, they go downhill really quickly and it is better to besafe than sorry

yes she is doing the neck thing and rib thing

think i'll go a and e

ty all

good luck, hope its something and nothing

Hope you are all home again soon.

TSS xx

Good luck, make sure you take a drink for you both
