On Friday, I received a phone call from home, my MIL asked me where have I kept Ethan's fever medicine, and to my worry, Ethan was down with fever. When we reached home from work, we found out that not only he had fever, Ethan also had diarrhoea for 3 times. We gathered that it must be the same strain of stomach flu virus which has attacked Caden, Mummy and Grandma so far..
On Sat, which was the first time that we brought Ethan to Dr Sim for an illness, he was given 2 types of diarrhoea medication. Dr Sim advised that if Ethan spit out the med we should cover his nostrils which will naturally make him open his mouth and swallow them... True enough, Ethan was smart enough to spit out the foreign liquid which was injected into his mouth, so we had to cover his nostrils.. He cried a big time but no choice, the med is supposed to make his stools harden and stop the diarrhoea...
Fever did not recur since Sat, but to date (Sun), Ethan is still down with diarrhoea. We have been providing 100% breast milk (lucky I still have extra stocks) to overcome this (cos cow's milk is no-no for time being), but didn't seem to improve too much, although the stools became more pasty.
Hopefully our dear lil darling recovers by tomorrow and poor Mummy can't be home early tomorrow cos she has a deadline to attend to in office..
One week ago, when he was happily well..
This weekend, when he's a bit more tired and lethargic
