It sound like allergies. I had very comparable issues some months in the past, it replaced into truly frustrating to take a deep breath, and that i replaced into clinically determined with allergies. I have been given an inhaler to apply while the subject happens and it works right away to open up my airlines. See your scientific expert asap! allergies could be very severe if no longer taken care of.

It probably is a chest infection but it she obviously not getting enough air into her lungs...............
It could also be an allergic reaction but I suppose they would of thought of that.........................
She needs a bit of help this evening I would say a nubuliser, my son was taken by ambulance when he was 10 months and sat on a nubuliser for 30 minutes he was alot better after wards
If your not happy trust ur instinct xxxxxxxxxx

Cannot tell you. Take her to A & E immediately. She needs to be checked thouroghly by a peadatrician. An 8 month old cannot tell you what is wrong. Find out What, How & Why etc. Better to be safe.

Take her to the ER immediately. She needs to be seen by a bronchial specialist. This is serious. She could have pneumonia.

It could be RSV...she is in the right age group and it is sometimes mistaken for a common cold or bronchitis....i would get a second opinion.

go with your instincts and take her back to the hospital depending what she was given it could be an alergic reaction. go back to the nearest a and e and be persistant.
