Post hospital admission

So my 15 month old got discharged from hospital today after going in on Friday with wheeze and increase work of breathing. We were admitted from our gp surgery. My daughter was not nebulised straight away and had 5 back to back 10 puffs of ventolin with 10 mg of prednisolone. (We had been to the gp the day before and was started on 10 mg, so had 20mg altogether) my daughter was then left a long time to be reviewed even though I was asking for her to be reviewed which ended up her requiring oxygen and back to back nebulisers. She then had 2 hourly nebulisers and weaned onto inhalers very quickly but only came off oxygen today. We came home today with no plan and her requiring her inhaler a few times since being home. Is it worth me going to the gp tomorrow?

Sounds really scary, hope your daughter feels better soon. I would take her to the GP in the morning for a check over they might also prescribed steroids to help.
