Answer 1

A mothers instinct is always right if you still do not feel ok about the situation and you feel something is still wrong it is always better to follow what your instinct is telling you. I would bring her back to the doctor and if everything is ok you will feel better knowing than wondering. I would be terribly upset if my daughter stopped breathing and I would be paranoid too. best of luck, hope she is ok!

Answer 2

If you are worried you should call the doctor.  The only one that has ever made me at ease when my son has been sick, is his doctor.  Good luck I hope your little one feels better soon.

Answer 3

you are not being paranoid, better to be safe than sorry. take her back to the doctor.

Answer 4

It would be a good idea to see the doctor again.

She could have a weak immune system for her age.

Hope she gets better and best of wishes to your baby to be.

Answer 5

Sounds terrible and most likely is part of the virus running it's course.  I would just give them a call.  Most of the time with my doctor I can get a hold of the nurse and tell her my concerns.  They can talk to the doctor and let you know if there is anything to worry about.  In the meantime a spoonful of honey can help coat the throat.

Answer 6

just call the doctor's office. They will tell you if that's normal or something to be concerned about.

Sounds like a horrible week for you  :(

Answer 7

Call the Doc's,even if you are being paranoid,its better to be safe than sorry.

Hope she gets well soon. My thoughts are with you. x*x

Answer 8

spooky!  that happened to my 2 year old brother 26 years ago when were on holiday in portugal.  it happened 3 times.  he was admitted to hospital and then we flew home, but after tests back home it turned out he had a hole in the heart.

your daughter may have a febrile convulsion, which is common with a fever, but it may be a heart condition (eg annurysm).  get some info, press for further checks to reassure yourself, and never worry about being paranoid, because one day you don't do anything and it could be too late.  always err on the side of caution with youngsters - the doctors don't mind. trust me, and trust your own instincts.

Answer 9

Call the doctor, and if they think you should come back, go back, or if you really feel like something is wrong, go back as many times as it takes to convince you everything is fine.
