chesty cough and temp... help

[*Beema*]

If it is a barking seal type cough it would lend to being croup it is horrible when they are distressed

But the wetness may be a mild dose of croup and like you said a virus as well. Usually a wet hacking type cough is Bronchiolitis, moreso if there is wheezing or more visable effort needed to breathe.

I hope it is a very short lived virus

hope she is better soon

[Doing my best]

Hope she is ok.. DD was diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia last week with similar symptoms (temp spiked 2 days running, came down with Nurofen), then she started getting quite lethargic on Friday and we already had an appointment..

If you feel like it you can see how she goes, but 40 is pretty high. I'd have her looked at.
We were heading to the doc for an ear infection with DD2 after temps over 39 the other night, but she came good & hasn't had a problem since! I'm still waiting for it to come back though...
