Roto Virus Misdiagnosed for Stomach Virus

I was at the doc a week ago for my 6 month old throwing up along with a cold and he was diagnosed with the stomach flu. Took him back a week later with a horrible cough that would make him either throw up or scream and was then diagnosed with roto virus by another doc. Now on breathing treatments because he was basically having an asthma attack but doesnt have asthma but his lungs were closing up and causing all the pain and wasnt breathing right. Because of this misdiagnosis my son couldve almost stopped breathing because his lungs were tight. This virus puts children in the hospital and to think mine couldve ended up there because of the misdiagnosis has me furious. Please always ask when your child is throwing up, diarreah and a cold, fever, etc if it could be the roto virus first instead of the stomach flu. Thanks god I took him back because I didnt feel he was getting any better.
