It seems so many people are down with flu, cough and what-nots these days. Xavier's cough got worsen and we are so afraid that it might develop into bronchitis. With the constant coughing at night, my poor little baby was not able to sleep well :( So on Thursday, we brought him to the PD for a check, luckily the phlegm did not went into the lungs but young children are at higher risk for developing it due to the building of immune systems, respiratory systems and narrow bronchial airways. We are praying everyday that he will get well soon!!!
Instruction given by PD:
- Xavier needs to use the neublize for 5mins on the spot, it helps reduce inflammation and dilate air passages for him to breathe freely
- Stop all fruits intake except for papaya (not sure why! but I have stop all solids)
- Give lots of water between feeds
- Need to have plenty of rest
- Keep him from crowded places, if possible
- Give Xavier allergy drops, cough and phlegm medicine
- Suck out excess mucus/phlegm from his nose (Xavier will start to fuss whenever he sees the snotsucker)
- Monitor closely, if worsen will have to visit the PD
And YES, we are following them to the dot!
After the 2nd day of medication, we can see a drastic improvement to his cough. His constant coughing had reduced to once or twice at night. The medicine really worked like a charm :) Even so, we still monitor him closely day and night.
Looking exhausted after rounds of nose sucking and medications
