Sore Throat

In this family, we are very used to self medicate for minor sickness like running nose, cough or slight fever. Two days ago, Aston complained of sore throat. We did not know what medicine we can feed him without bringing him see doctor. At that moment, I thought why we adults are so funny, if mummy has sore throat I will surely speed off to see doctor get medicine to cure the soreness. When it comes to children, why didn't we quickly send you see doctor ? We become so indecisive when we are stuck with no medicines in our house for sore throat. In the end, just one day left Aston unattended, he developed fever last night. Fever was up and down throughout today. This was the first time I see Aston so lethagic, no energy, no smile ; so I think this time you are really feeling unwell. Fever & sore throat is surely making you no mood to eat, ya, you ate very little during lunch.

At around 12noon, Mummy brought you see Dr Glen, fed you the panadol, antibiotics and lozenges and after some coaxing, playing some soft music, you FINALLY slept for 1.5 hrs. While you are sleeping, mummy disinfect the whole house and many boxes of toys. You woke up at 3plus, look tired, slight fever, took panadol and requested to play some computer games. In the midst of playing, I prepared one bowl of corn flakes, you finished all of it. I am relieved to see your appetitite coming back. I checked your temperatures very regularly and it did not subside. I also checked carefully your palm and foot for blisters, just to make sure no symtoms of HFM. At around 5plus, I prepare the Chinese Leng Leong drink and you drank it. At this time, your temperature has gone down to 37.3 but now it's 37.6.

You are now playing with Ben10 toys. Soon getting ready to have dinner.

Wishing you PINK OF HEALTH !!!
