Bronchiolitis - a couple of questions

The daughter started feeling unwell-ish on Wednesday, took her to out of hours GP when it seemed really bad thursday night. Diagnosed Bronchiolitis and advised the usual: fluids, ibuprofen, cuddles. She spent most pf friday and saturday asleep. Today she's still wheezing and full of snot, but definitely lively and doesn't have a temperature anymore.

Is it ok to send her to nursery, seeing as she feels well in herself, even if snottiness and wheeziness are still there? Or should I keep her at home another day just in case?

Also, she's due her MMR on Tuesday. Can she have it even with the snottiness as long as there's no fever? I'd rather cancel in time so that the surgery can re-allocate the slot, but don't want to delay the vaccination unneccessarily.

Are you sure the diagnosis was bronchiolitis? That often requires hospitalisation, it's much more serious than bronchitis. I would definitely keep her at home until she's completely better if it's bronchiolitis. I would also postpone MMR to next week at least.

Well, it's what the out of hours GP said. She said it didn't require hospitalisation just yet, but explained to me what to watch out for and had her inhale with a nebuliser for a while before sending us home.
