My 21 month old son has bronchitis. he seems to be breathing from his tummy, almost like he isn't getting enough air. we only got antibiotics tonight. his breathing is worrying me though. should i take him to a hospital now or wait for meds to work?

Difficulty : In spite the fact that you have recently started antibiotics on your child, the fact that the child is having difficulty breathing is a very urgent issue and he should be checked face-to-face in an emergency department as soon as possible. There may be other medications that could be used to help with the difficulty breathing while the antibiotics are starting to work.

Go to ER....: What you are describing means that your son is having difficulty breathing. That cannot wait because little ones can get into a lot of trouble VERY quickly. Go to the nearest emergency room immediately-he may need oxygen and other meds to help him breathe easier. Please do not wait! Hope he feels better real soon!
