Is Flying Safe While Suffering From Bronchiolitis?

Hi I think my 2 year daughter may have bronchiolitis. She has had a cough and runny nose for a few weeks. It has suddenly worsened this evening and she has coughing fits. She is not struggling to breathe and is in otherwise good health. There is no fever, I am giving her plenty to drink vapour rub on her chest and glycerin syrup. She seems happy enough and was playing as her usual self although tired today. We are flying 10.5 hours flight from Mauritius to London tomorrow at 4pm. Do you think this is safe?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the qiery. I understand your concern.
Temprature, pressure & oxygen concentration are well regulated in areoplains.So it is not likely to aggravate baby's condition.. provided she is well draped to protect her from cold temprature there.
The care you are taking at home is good&seems to soothe her... still before you embark... I would suggest consultation of her doctor foe advise of needful antibiotic &specific medication for her cough fits.
Thanks.
