Sick...Again!

ARGH!!! The girl is down AGAIN!

Earlier in the month, just a week before school was out, she came down with a persistant fever that refused to go away despite dose after dose of paracetamol. She ended up not going to school the WHOLE week. This time it's a bad bout of FLU! And it looks like she will be out of school again for ANOTHER week! :P

She has a nose with a loose faucet, a hacking cough and a fever that plays peekaboo at night. So on top of her bottle of paracetamol, which we have been pumping her religiously every 6 hourly to keep her fever at bay, 2 other bottles of meds has been added to her regime, one to dry up the reservoir in her nose and the other to get rid of the phelgm.

I pray that I am NOT about to start a mini pharmacy in my refridgerator and 3 bottles of meds is ALL we will need to last her through childhood. I find it very worrying that within a MONTH she has already fallen sick TWICE and with such severity too. For sure her constituition has taking a beating after this episode. So this paranoid mother has vowed to "por (dialect for strengthening or to nurse)" her little girl back to optimum health! Top on the list will be getting her to drink beef essence!
