Health Check

We returned to visit the Dr last Thur for my review and all was not so good since I had fever again last Monday and had been coughing badly (very deep and phlegmy), which disrupted my sleep. Dr said I was wheezing a little, so this round it was lower respiratory treatment. But I would have to continue with my previous upper respiratory treatment concurrently, since I was actually getting better before catching on this new virus.  Mummy also asked what types of vitamins could help boost immunity and Dr's answer was we could try cod liver oil -which I'm already taking. But he told us that it will NOT prevent infections and illness, I will outgrow it and become stronger through producing my own anti-bodies.So I’m now on ventolin spray as well to be taken via the Aerochamber Inhaler Spacer. Initially I didn’t want to use the mask, and cried & struggled. But Day 2 onwards, I will do it without any fuss and even want to play with it and do it myself. All thanks to mummy for getting me to role play with my ‘Jerry’ stuff toy!


Today is Day 8, I've stopped coughing and I’ve also stopped snoring loudly. Hopefully this bout of cough/flu/fever will go away, since the cold season is also ending soon.
