Hi,
My DD had broncheolitis when she was 6wks old. She then got it three more times before she was 6mths. She had definite wheezing which is what alerted me to it. She does have asthma she is now 7. She was never given ventolin until she was about 3. Usually asthma is not diagnosed under 2yrs of age. You mentioned the doctor said bronchitis which is different to broncheolitis which they associate with asthma. I would definately take her back to your dr when he returns. I was told in hospital the way you can tell if bubs is having difficulty in breathing is to take off their top, lie them down and watch the sides of the ribs and if they are being sucked in that's when they are having trouble breathing. If it is asthma you should be able to hear a definate wheeze also.

Hope this was of some help. Let us know how you go.

Regards,
Dianne
