Really shocking cough in DS

Been to the Dr's this wk with both DS, now DS2 12mth is barking like a dog and seems to be struggling to catch his breath when in a coughing fit. Have just given him more calpol which is what the Dr told us to do.

Saturday surgery tom or are they going to get mega pissed at me turning up 48hrs after he was last seen??

If he really sounds like he is barking it is probably croup. Take him into the bathroom whilst the shower is running to breathe in lots of steam. You'll be amazed how effective this can be.
If this doesn't help then I see mo reason not to go back to the dr tomorrow. Hope he is better soon
