hi everyone just a rant about doctors.
my little fella has been unwell for 9 days. terrible chesty cough even producing some green mucus.
had him the doc's three times last week. he has been wheezy and needing his inhaler every single day. needing up to 5 puffs per time. inhaler is doing the job as it is lasting for about 3ish hours.
doc's could hear some wheezes they said but nothing to be worried about.
well nothing for them to be worried about, my poor little one is coughing that much that he is losing his breath to the point of a choke.. he has a temp on and off (calpol is working).
he is breathless between speech and is also tugging at the throat.
took him to the drop in last night and they put him on pred for 3 days.
they say they can hear noises in his chest and even got a second opinion.
they have said to keep going back to my doctors or even take him to alder hey.
as a rule my g.p is really good but we have some occassional doctors and these seem to be the ones i always have difficulty with. (these are training to be gp's)
i feel as if they get fed up with me taking him, but isn't it better to be safe.
i can't understand how they sit with a warning on the screen saying serious asthma and yet put it all down to just a virus (i know virus' will cause a flare up)
sorry to rant
thanks for reading, i know some of you will have had the same prob.
