Hi All

DD has been full of cold all week. She's had a nasty cough at night but not too bad during the day except when she's sleeping.

She's been on a-bs since Thursday.

She's fine in herself, hasn't had a temp for a day or so.

But, she's just finished dinner and is really wheezing and panting altho she doens't really seem short of breath.

I was about to bath her and give her a dose of medi-sed before bed but I'm freaking out now that her breathing will get worse and slow especially on the medi-sed.

If I ring NHS direct they'll just say to go to A&E won't they?

Could it be asthma? DH has bad asthma.........

TIA, am freaking out, so hard to hear her breathingh this way.

aDad & Fox, nope you're advice is the one I'm going with!

if she's sleeping she's breathing in and out for goodness sake and I will just do the inhaler slowly.

as opposed to when I'm pinning her, she's screaming/gulping and I'm doing the inhaler quickly!

once she drops off her breathing becomes so much more measured and less of an effort for her.

grandma's taken her out to feed the ducks now so a shower and some domestic tasks for me!
