I have perked up today, and been spared ABs - it appears to be just a nasty bronchitis - I have to go back on Tues to check it's getting better and (as the asthmatic symptoms are worrying) have lung function tested.
babybero has been given a nebuliser with salbutamol, although he's not having trouble breathing, because he has a lot of phlegm and needs help gerting it off his chest. And amoxycillin to be started if and when his temp goes over 38.5 again, because that would point to pneumonia
He had 3 days of IV ABs for a neonatal infection at 3 weeks (he's 7mo now) and I really don't like the idea of exposing him to more... I have slight uto-immune issues, we've already decided he'll be having single vax but I still want to avoid over-exposure to stuff that could cause problems. Any views on risks v benefirs of the ABs?
