    Poor little poppet
    I may be a viral induced wheeze...Maybe brought on by something like Bronchiolitis.
    It would be worth keeping an eye on her tonight and if she doesn't get worse go to your GP in the morning.
    If you notice her really start to struggle, get recessions (pulling in at the ribs when breathing), tummy breathing, tracheal tug (tugging in a base of throat) then I would take her to the hospital....hopefully it doesn't get to that.
    Bronchiolitis usually last 5-7 days...with the worst days 3-4.
    Do you have a vaporiser...I find that that helps my little ones. Or run the shower really hot and let the room steam up and stand in there with her...it help break up the congestion on her chest.
    I really hope she is better soon.
