4 month old has bronchiolitis. taken her to a&e both sunday and monday and they just keep saying she’s coping and can get over it at home. she is sucking in her ribs and breathing fast and has slept or been irritable nearly all day, same with yesterday and day before.

how is this normal? hear breathing is so rapid i feel so stressed

I’d double check with 111 if she’s sucking in at the ribs.

Sucking in the ribs is not ok. Go back to a and e. Keep going back until they take you seriously

Video the recession in her rubs and take it with you to A&E. any child with rib/chest recession is classed as "big sick" by paramedics.

Take her to hospital

My DD has this at 5 months. She was also sent home. I was horrified and scared. However, I'm glad to report that she did very suddenly get better.
