My 5 month old has a wheeze and has been drawing in at the tummy for 7 days he has had one course of steroids 3 day 4x5mg with a inhaler 2 puffs 4x5mg daily or as needed. He was given this on day 2 now day 7 no improvement. I took him back to doctors today as his breathing rate was above 60 and still drawing in at the tummy the doctor referred us to the hospital so off we went, after checking him over they said add he is still feeding the breathing its self didn't warrant admission but if he stops feeding to bring him back.I'm slightly confused as surly the breathing difficulty he is displaying warrens investigation ? He's had a cough since 3 months old after a chest infection he recieved antibiotics for. He doesn't cry he winges and moans but never screams. No temp He was 7 lb 10 at birth and now weighs 13 lb 13 @ 22 weeks. was full term baby heart rate dipped in delivery and he pooped inside me ( never had a check up about this. Not sure if he would of needed one)
Hope you can help worried mother
