Kaeden had been down with flu and cough on Sunday. Although nothing too serious, we decided to bring him to the PD on Monday just in case. Kept him away from school for a week too so that he can recover fully.
The medicine he came back with:
Luckily for something called APPLE JUICE, we managed to feed him his medicine without much problem.
Then on Thursday night, Mr Fever decided to visit Kaeden... sigh... I took him to the PD again on Friday when he complained on pain in the mouth and refused to eat anything.
Temperature was 40.1; suppositories were inserted to bring down his fever. Dr Lim attended to him immediately and found small/big/different size ulcers on Kaeden's tongue!!! Luckily a blood test confirmed that it’s not HFMD.
New medicine given...
It was a tough night with Kaeden being ultra cranky. As much as we wanted to help him get better but on the other hand, he is not cooperating at all. No matter what type of beverages we add the medicine into, he simply refuse to drink. Feeding him directly was not an option as he either spit out every single drop that went into his mouth or puked out every thing in his tummy. In just 1 feed, we finished 3/4 of the antibiotic :( Both of us felt so helpless seeing our dear boy sick yet nothing can be done to ease his pain.
Kaeden's food for the past few days and next...
Our baby finally asleep after much struggling...
