Athena has been sick since Tues.... she coughed very badly at nite with alot of phlegm till she puked twice on daddy!!!! (Luckily not on me..heehee). We brought her to see PD in Hougang mall again as Dr ong is not available on Wed's afternoon.
Poor gal, apparently, her nose is very blocked and PD recommend to give her a dosage of nebulisation. :( My heart is so heartpain ... and she was given ventolin and some nose drops to help her. That nite, she slept rather well, prob cos' she has no blockage. However, last nite, her phlegm came back and she was awaken by her own coughing at 5am today. Hubby and i were both awake then to take care of her.
There's so much to learn abt parenting. Being paranoid, i was wondering y no cough mixture was given to her. Ventolin from wat i looked up in Internet only clear air passage, so how will it help to clear her phlegm??? I got concerned and start asking ard. Moreover, met my bro-in-law last nite who told me tt there's many side effect from Ventolin and he wont recommend to use it. That got me panic a bit and start having an argument with hubby whether we need to bring her back to Dr ong instead. But after talking to my eldest sister who has 2 asthmatic boys, she told me Ventolin is perfectly alrite for babies and kids. Side effect is not so serious and it does help to clear phlegm. Of cos; she advise us to monitor another day b4 deciding whether we shld seek 2nd opinion. That got me settled a bit.
But it also made me realized that i have to be more vigilant to know the names of medicine tt's given by PD each time we visit them. My colleagues and sister are able to read off the names of medicine on top of their heads while i am actually clueless of wat's medicine my gal is taking. Sigh, looks like i have more to learn abt parenting.
It doesnt help tt i am travelling to Germany next week for 5 days. OMG, it's the first time in 9 mths that i am not at my gal's side at nite. that got me worried quite a bit. But that's another entry..... stay tune!
