My daughter has a temp and has been coughing, but today we've notice a change in her breathing as she's starting to breath faster would you recommend phoning out of hours or taking her a & e?

Basics: The approach in a 1 yo would be more based on the effect of the change on her activities rather than just breathing faster. If she seems distressed, feedings decline & she has trouble drinking she should be seen now. If she maintains her normal activity level a simple call would be fine.
