Poor Baby

What a day it has been, my son has been having this cough for some time now and it was his day to see the doctor for his review. An aggressive dose of medication had been prescribed a week ago. Both parents were there today to see the doctor as it could be more serious. But the good news was his lungs were clear but he still was coughing a little probably due to his baby tonsils that he has. All medication could be discontinued but a preventive daily dose was given. Another review was expected in 6 weeks.

That night for reason’s unknown he started vomiting once it was twice we knew something was wrong and it was off to the A&E. He did vomit a couple of more times and by the time the doctor saw us he seem to have calm down a little doctor suspected a stomach flu virus as there were multiple cases recently and even then there were a few cases at the hospital A&E as well. His vomit now had calm down but actually it had come to a stage that there was nothing left to throw out just the stomach reacting and the poor little boy trying to vomit but nothing came out. Could see his face change colour from normal to red as a tomato and then once it stop a paleness settled on his face.

Medication was given which stop the vomiting and soon around midnight he settled down to sleep. 24 hours later with lots of prays from his relatives and friends, he looks much better. But then we will hold giving him milk for another day as the doctor had advices. Another episode in his little life.
