MooMoo down with sickness again

Little Moo Moo is down with sickness again.

She had not been sleeping well for the past few days. Waking up middle of the night crying without any reason.

On Tuesday night, i saw a slight dot of yellowish discharged in her eyes and i said to myself "Maybe she is just heaty". Wednesday morning. Moo Moo wake up with both her eye lids glued together by the yellowish discharged. She cried like mad when i try to wipe her eyes with a wet cloth. She didn't sleep well either the whole Wednesday afternoon as she cannot breath smoothly.

Bring her to the doctor at night. The doctor said that it is not eye infection. It is caused by the bacteria due to her flu and had since spread to her eyes. The doctor prescribe Moo Moo with eye drops and flu medicine.

It's really hard to put eye drops into a toddler. After so many tries, we only managed to put 1 drop each to both eyes instead of the recommended 2 drops. I even tried to put the eye drops while she is asleep and yet she felt uncomfortable with it.

Moo Moo didn't sleep well again on Wednesday night however, the yellow discharged is lesser this morning. Really had no idea how to make my girl healtier. She is really very pron to sickness since the past few months.

Moo Moo was down with high fever and cough on Friday night. Gave her cough medicine and paracetamol to control her condition. However, she cough very badly especially during night time and she is very scared of vomiting.

12 March 2011 (Saturday)

Moo Moo didn't take much food the whole day. She only managed to finish half of her daily milk intake, a sausage and some bread. She vomited 4 times this the morning due to the phlegm and it makes her very scared whenever she cough.

13 March 2011 (Sunday)

Brought her to the doctor again on Sunday morning. Doctor see a slight redness in her ears which might be ears infection. The bacteria must have spread to her ears! Doctor presribed her with antibiotic and cough medicine.

Current age: 2 years 1 month
Current weight: 10.9kg
Medicine dosage: Paracetamol : 4ml
                           Cough medicine: 2.5ml
                           Flu medicine: 3ml
                           Antibiotic: 5ml

Moo Moo seems to be feeling much better after taking the antibiotic. She even follow hubby for grocery shopping in the afternoon while i lazed around at home getting some sleep as to hope that i myself can cure from sickness as well.

Moo Moo pooed very smelly and blacked colored poo at night. It should be a good sign that she had finally discharged all the bad bacteria inside her. After the poo poo, she became very energetic and asked for food!

She slept well the whole Sunday night.

* I am lucky that i don't need to struggle when feeding my girl medicine. She is always the one who asked for medicine and will sometimes self feed.
