sigh, prince fell sick.. down w fever, cough and flu

DAMN, i wonder where he got this flu n cough bugs from! Beginning from last friday onwards, it was no fun at all, first he showed sign of getting fever in school when mummy picked him up, he had 37.3.. then at nite, it shot up to 38.9! sigh.... half of Saturday was spent waiting for his turn to see the PD as she is very popular.. we actually went around to see if can get somewhere with shorter q, no luck... anyway, we managed to see the Pd only at about 1230hrs, then we headed home after tat... from then till today, he has fever which swings up and down, flu and cough which he still has it now... fever subsided on day 3, but this morning it went up again... i ended up needing to nurse him by sponging whole night cos didnt want to wake him up to take the medicine which he dreads! and tot my as well let him rest more, cos if gives him medicine, he will cry n it will interrupt his mood to sleep better... well, now he is sleeping n i decided to experiment by letting him sleep on a "higher" pillow, perhaps tat helps his airway breathing cos if he lies flat, all the mucus probably irritates and blocks his air passage, makes sense? also did some research on the medicine he is taking, did u all know tat some medicine hv different side effects on children? Salbutamol for example, which is for clearing of air passage is known to have a common side effect of trembling? it's scary when u sees it, its like going into a short convulsion. :( anyway, we stopped giving him tat n he know takes chloropheramine for flu and mucoslovan for cough.. btw, mummy didnt take care of him cos she is also down with flu and cough! its so coincidental tat the first n now the second time tat prince falls sick with cough n flu, mummy has it too! daddy cannot afford to fall sick, so swallow 2 Redoxon with Zinc a day! anyway, he didnt go for the bb contest on sunday as well becos of tis.... we see it as giving chance to other babies to win! :P he actually had his "fans" equipped with cameras wanting to take his pic! :P Importantly hopes he gets much better tomorrow n can send him back to sch... he is showing good signs now.... We concluded 2 things from this and last time experience of him fallin sick, he wants to drink only direct when unwell, anything else he will refuse! ; he DREADS n HATES medicine, no matter how hard we coaxed him, no way means no way! well, i guess tis is all part of growing up needing to go thru these... wait wait, before i go, he is already cruising nowadays, meanin supported with something he can grab, he will move along... n don know where he learns tis, but he is shaking his head in a "no" motion sometimes, like he knows things he doesn't want... :) we r so proud of him!! pix of him sleepin on the "higher" pillow... looks effective tho cos he is breathing easier, but don think good for his back.. maybe tis time do an exception.
