Couple of days ago, James has been sneezing a lot. I know
from there that he would soon have a cough or colds or even both. Sobrang lamig
na kasi ng weather ngayon. True enough, I noticed every night that he’s
coughing as if nangangati yung lalamunan nya. I let him drink his medicine for cough, Asmalin
Broncho was the last syrup he’s been given at 2ml. Although it wasn’t consistent
na nakakainom sya. It was like, once or twice a day lang naaalala ng baby
sitter ko. I noticed na parang hindi nawawala yung cough so last Tuesday, less
than a week when he started ng paubo – ubo, I had him checked at Alabang
Medical Clinic in Las Pinas. He gained weight so his dosage was increased at
3ml. He was also given an antihistamine and disudrin for his colds.
He was also asked to be nebulized for 4 days dahil parang ma
phlegm na yung cough nya.
During those time na sobrang tindi ng ubo nya, he cries at
night sa kakaubo and he’s quite irritated too. His nose is clogged din kasi
aside pa sa paubo-ubo nya. There were also time pa na nasusuka sya sa kakaubo.
Nakakaawa talaga.. sleepless nights.
Currently, I can see that he’s feeling a lot better. Hindi
na kasi sya masyadong umiiyak sa gabi unlike the last couple of days. Anyhow, I
am still looking forward in bringing him to his doctor for follow up checkup.
Para lang malaman if his cough got better ba. He’s continuing his anti-histamine
for 2 weeks while his meds for cough and colds will be until tomorrow only.
His pedia advised me to get his vaccines completed daw. As
of the moment kasi, hindi ko pa rin nako complete yung vaccines nya. I am
starting to worry kasi I can see nowadays how important it is. Tama naman si
Doc, investment din naman ‘to kasi it is an additional protection din for them.
I noticed that it’s mostly cough and colds ang nakukuha ni James which the
pedia suggested to get him the Pneumococcal vaccine. It costs P3,500 on his
pedia which is definitely nakakaiyak pero I have heard of Jacob’s Ladder
Immunization and I am looking forward to check kung ok ba dun.
Any suggestions, Mommies?
My youngest also has cough. Actually, tagal na nga nun. We had him checked sa doc last week and he was given meds. Una kasi nebulize lang ang nirerecommend but it's really hard kasi ayaw niya so I have to wait if he's asleep to do it. Kaya lang nagigising din siya sa ingay ng nebulizer. Hay, hope everyone gets better na. :)
ReplyDeleteGet well soon baby james. Mahirap talaga pag may sakit ang bata kasi istorbo ang pagtulog nila. Ang big na ng baby boy mo Jen. =)
ReplyDeleteA spoon of honey with calamansi might help, hope he gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my kids are sick. Sobrang hirap and round-the-clock ang meds. Regarding the PCV vaccine, their pedia gave it to them when they turned 6 mos. Cheaper pa sa pedia mo since mine costs P5,000 per shot :(( But syempre when it comes to our kids, we want to make sure we'll give them everything they need. Anyway, I hope your son gets better :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you tod gets well very soon. Kung sana pwedend ilipat nalang satin ang sakit nila, kaso hindi rin naman pwede. I nebulize my baby also when he has cough and colds.

Our girls used nebulizer too when they were at James' age. Plus,they were given medication to get rid of the cough and it worked! Hope he feels better.
ReplyDeletekatatapos lang ng baby ko sa cough and colds last week as per doctor seasonal because of the weather
ReplyDeleteI remember paying 6k a month for 3 months when Yuri was a baby for pneumococcal and another shot whose name escapes me. I think we should follow doctor's orders talaga. Have you tried giving him calamansi with honey juice? It usually helps my son better than medicines eh.
ReplyDeleteLike Sol, i normally give natural remedies initially at first sign of colds. I dont like giving medicine too much unless necessary (e.i., if they have fever or cant sleep well due to coughing). Plenty of water, fruits and vegetables, chicken soup works very well, and yes honey with calamansi for irritated throat, plus plenty of sleep.
ReplyDeleteAaww.. Get well soon kay James. I remember last week, sa sobrang lamig ng panahon hindi namin pinaluguan si Rhian, punas punas lang kasi baka magkasakit. Iba talaga panahon ngayon, kaya mas kawawa yung mga bata. :(
ReplyDeleteHope your baby gets better soon. Kids are really prone to catching colds nowadays due to cold weather.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, poor Baby James. Sana gumaling ka na soon. Ako din may sakit last weekend. Buti nawala na ubo ko. :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids have coughs and colds plus fever din, thankfully they're okey na. Hope your baby gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to see our little ones struggle. The weather being so cold can make it difficult, too. Hope feels better na.
ReplyDeleteA back massage will help ease his cough. I use a mentholated rub on my kids.
ReplyDeleteMy son also uses nebulizer every time may bad cough sya. It's easy to use naman, you need to empower si nanay at si ate Leny para hindi ka na nila antayin next time. I hope your son is now okay.
