Eugene got Flu!

My precious baby is sick for the FIRST time..sob..sob.. He developed a cold since a week ago. At the beginning stage, we tried to avoid letting him take the medicine and wish he can recover by himself.

However, he seem like turned into a bad condition. So Kevin decided to send him to ISH to see Dr. Adeline Tan today. Check..Check... no congestion in his lungs, no red in his throat, no cough, no rashes but he got running/ blocked nose so Doctor helped to suck the mucus by using a nasal douche. Of course, Gene was cried out loudly....Doctor gave some medicines for him and advise us to came back again by tomorrow.

He did not sleep well at night, probably due to the blocked nose. He slept for few hour and get up for milk, he started coughing and he was choked and vomited everything he had drank...Oh..my pity Gene!!! Because of the choked he refused to drink milk now.

Until the next morning, he did not seem to get better. After medicine, we brought him to see Dr. Adeline again and She checked over his throat and temperature 36.5 were ok and did the nasal douche again....his mucus is lesser compare yesterday and Dr advised us continue to give him the medicine accordingly.
During the day, he has no appetite for milk, porridge or brown rice cereal. Due to the medicine effect, his nap time was longer than normal day and he was cranky the whole day. He clinged to me and make some noise, don't really know what he wants...He started the serious coughing in the afternoon. "Gene, Mummy knows you are feeling uncomfortable now, Mummy sayang sayang Gene. You will recover very soon." So we gave him the cough medicine but it did not seem to subside after that. It goes on and on like this the whole day.

We did not bath him for these 2 days and we just used the wet tower to wipe up his body to prevent him to get in a serious cold again. At night, I seem to have problem adjusting the room temperature for him. Normally we put 23 for the air-cond (Eugene sweats a lot and he will wake up very frequent if he is hot). Since he is having cold, I adjusted the air-cond temp up to 26...he sweated till the bed was wet. Then, I switch on the fan with the 2nd speed for him, (Of course the wind wasn't blowing directly to him) he still sweated. His hands were cold, but his head and legs (I cover him with nappy - blanket too hot for him) were so hot.
Worse part is he refused to have milk, porridge or any solid food. Before the food reaches him, he turn his head to other side refuse to have it. Baby..baby... u need food to fill up your stomach before you take the medicine...Baby..baby...please recover soon as daddy and mommy are so worried for you....
