Oh god I thought we were going to get through winter without a big scare...

Ds has has a cold since Friday, woke up today sounding very tight chested so we started on the back up emergency steriods

GP said sounded ok but gave some anti biotics just in case. We haven't started them yet, but just went in to see him, and he's quite hot and coughing away so may change mind in the morning

So if we continue with steriods can we also give anti biotics? I feel awful for filling him up with so many drugs but desparate to avoid hospital

Thanks for any advice, apologies if I don't answer straight away, probably in with the little fella

Yes the two together are fine.

I have been on steroids for 25 yrs and have had anti biotics at least twice a year with them.Ring out of hours but I do think they will reassure you x
