My daughter Leruri is battling to breath. I suspect nasal congestion. We administered allergex, calpol and salex but she isnt getting better. She doesnt have fever, she isnt coughing but seems to have difficulty swallowing. It seems her lips are getting bruised but were not sure. I just suspect that were paranoid. She sleeps just a bit and wakes up crying. ?
