my daughter will be 4 in may and she has been getting frequent coughs and colds and she has been getting treatment by being given antibitics.It subsides for a few weeks and we are back to squre one.What is worrying me is because at night her nose gets really congested that she has to breath through her mouth so she ends up snoring and she kind of holds her breath for a few seconds then she starts breathing again.I feel she is suffering alot.At the moment she is on treatment on antibiotics since she developed a runny nose with yellow discharge and fever.Am thinking that after clearing her antibitic dose i take her back to be reviewed again.
