hello all:
haven't been posting for a while. My baby is unwell and I am SAHM for 3 days.
My baby started with a very mild cough on Saturday. The two of us very bad parents, we ignored it, thinking that he should be okay, and we even brought him to attend a wedding dinner that night!! He got worse after the dinner, partly due to the very strong air-con, I think. We still ignored it, then only his teacher at the infant care alerted us, we quickily brought him to see his PD on Monday night. He was okay thouhg, still sleeps and drinks well (less appetite) despite the cough.
His PD said - for young baby, you CANNOT ignore any cough, esp if you hear phlegm when he coughs or breaths. This is because young baby has very tiny airway, if the airway was totally blocked by phlegm, he is very prone to bronchitis.
Something to share with you mummies. While I learned a lesson, my son got to suffer :-( Luckily he recovers very fast, thank godness!
