A member asked:

Asthmatic son has shallow breathing, coughing;oxygen = 92-97; heart rate = 143; temp = <100; hospital or reg. dr.? have done treatments at home.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doc: With oxygen in the 95% range he can see his regular doc as long as your "mommy sense" is comfortable with the wait. Theheart rate is consistent with stress and getting home treatments and well within the safe range for age.If taking fluids well and cooperating with treatments I see no need for you to wait for hours in an ER behind the auto accidents and heart attacks.
