Morning, mummies.
I am waiting for the clock to strike 9am.
Mylvera,
JIA YOU! Hope you can maintain your sanity by then.
This morning, my girl surprised us by counting 1 to 10 using her cookery toys!!! She was taking out the items one by one and count at the same time! To me, I am very proud of her. Firstly, we thought she knows how to say 1 to 10 but not count them. Secondly, she never missed a count. Even when she took out 2 items at the same time, she counted them as 2 separate items (like 5,6). Very happy and made my day! I think no one taught her how to count yet.

Tongtong,
cannot leh, the link you gave me, returned with companies in sg, not kl :-(
Mylife,
that's our problem loh, we seldom stay home one leh. We rather him and meimei to have more fun running at the park/zoo, then staying indoor. 5 full days staying indoor is enough already. With his maturity, think he knows what we are/he is doing. So we just let him be. I talked to his teacher, she is also on the frequency as I am, so just gonna wait a little bit longer

Icy, S also started off telling me that he had finished his business by saying “ng ng”. Then I told him to tell me before he wanted to poo. I forgot how long it took and eventually he got the idea and told me when he has the urge. Think sooner it’s Xavier’s turn liao.
Grumpus, hey thanks for being so helpful to offer to make the pillow. NO need mafan u la, my friend told me that the wet market aunty is selling. So I’m going to get from there! Thanks!
Mylife, so good that Rylee still wants ur breast, haha. S rejected mine long time ago, so sad leh, he wanted bottle!!
Jess, yea monitor first. The 6 cases got vaccinated or not? If yes, then their condition shouldn’t be very serious one. I read one of our jan bb here got chicken pox before right? Or dec thread, cant remember..
Kam, which link ah? They showed one kidszone at sunway pyramid.
Pixie/enemum , wah! so touched that you all wanna give me your beansprout pillow! My little nephew really has lots of merits(fu2 bao4) leh!! Ok will pm u .

Jess,
Not necessary too late. Last time my friend also brought her son for chicken pox vaccination AFTER his son got contact with his little friends who were having chicken pox. The PD said if he was really infected, then it will become milder after the vaccination. The choice is yours

aqua,
my daughter also coughed very badly. had phlegm and even vomited every night after coughing. She took PD's medicine for 1++ week. Since western medicine didn't work so my mum brought her to see a chinese doctor. the very night she took the medicine, she didnt vomit that night. about 3-4 days later, her cough cleared up and now ok already.
I think you can go to any chinese doctor nearby coz they normally don't give many days of medicine.

aqua, huh, still coughing.. heard that she coughed quite some time liao. if you want fast result, can try hou2 zao3 san3. personally i dont know what's the ingredient inside as it has been packed in bottle. For me I wont try as I think those med is equal to western medicine? just that they are chinese herbs. I know the results were pretty fast and good. BUt you know me, I always want to DIY n prefer more natural ways, so i buy the ingredients and boil myself. results are slower but i'm absolutely ok with it la! will pm u my blog for more remedies.
meanwhile you can try the prepack herbs from medical hall, and give manuka honey + lemon. It worked for mine, maybe his cough/flu are not serious or he is a very good fighter). It doesnt work for some kids though, maybe the virus is too strong n need to boost the immune)

Kam,
I waited for 9am so that I can book concert tickets for Jay Chou's concert!!!
Wah, the SISTIC website just hanged totally for 1 hr and the tickets are snatched up like crazy. In one min, like you can see 1 CAT seats turned into unavailable!!! Very kan cheong!!! I managed to get my tickets at last! But I can't help my other friends coz she wanted balcony and it is full liao!!!
Thanks, mummies! I am just silly to be so proud of her achieving the counting. Another thing is that she slept with her pacifier last night after I told her I threw it away. She cried for like 20 mins and kept repeating that her pacifier is no more... Poor thing, nearly want to give her back... But I did not. Later she just slept. This morning, she told hubby that she does not have pacifier liao.

aqua, usually the immune will become lower after taking antibiotics because it destroy all the bacteria in the body including good ones. so got to replenish with prebiotics. that's why she kena flu from the other kids again when immune is lower.
try lemon, see whether it works for her or not. drip the eucalyptus oil on tissue and place near her at night. If got phlegms, i heard many ppl say, avoid chicken and eggs. and oranges.

tongtong / Aqua,
Dr Keoy said avoid all citrus fruits if coughing. Lemon also citrus fruits woh.
About antibiotics. Depending on the type of antibiotics. Narrow range ones only targeted certain types of bacteria. Only broader range ones target more bacteria. None of the antibiotics available in the market can kill all bacteria strains. Over-use of antibiotic may cause the bacteria in our body becomes resistance (they mutate and change the genetic codes, yes, bacteria is smart) and hence not reactive to that particular antibiotic. Flu is often caused by virus. So most often taking antibiotics does not help at all. Antibiotic has no effect on virus at all.

Aqua, no need to stop fruits other than orange or perhaps grapes. Pls continue to eat apples, preferably an apple a day.
Kam, yea I also know lemon is citrus fruits, but somehow lemon is also one of the natural remedies for cough leh. I think it should have its reason lor for adding honey to the lemon – it says to sooth the throat irritation. So I just try la, and it works wor. But I know it might not work for other kids. That’s why I ask aqua to try ma.

Aqua, in fact u also point out that you take high vit C can cure your flu wor. so shd even give fruits to ur gal when she is flu ma. The high C juices are very good, it consists of grapes and another fruits ( forgot what issit)
so now your gal is cough only or cough +flu?

luca/aqua,
Antibiotics definitely cannot kill virus. I am very sure. The reason why the GP/PD still prescribes antibiotics for non-bacteria illness is for the protection, cos antibiotics is the boast up, temporarily, the immunity against bacteria, so just in case the patient might have bacteria infection also.
Anti-viral med is available. But very few and to certain viruses only. Vaccination also available, but again, for certain types of virus only. For viral infection/virus flu, usually has to leave to your body to fight it off. Drinking plenty of water helps. And other natural remedies like fruits, honey etc. Basically no med for viral flu.
Over-use of antibiotics reduces their effectiveness by encouraging the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is a serious and increasing problem globally.
Me and my hubby don't take antibiotics unless I am seriously ill. I also don't let my kids take antibiotics unless the doc told me it's not a virus infection.

Luca - color of mucus:
Generally nasal mucus is clear and thin, serving to filter air during inhalation. During times of infection, mucus can change colour to yellow or green either as a result of trapped bacteria, or due to the body's reaction to viral infection.
In the case of bacterial infection, the bacterium becomes trapped in already clogged sinuses, breeding in the moist, nutrient-rich environment. Antibiotics may be used to treat the secondary infection in these cases, but will generally not help with the original cause.
In the case of a viral infection such as cold or flu, the first stage and also the last stage of the infection causes the production of a clear, thin mucus in the nose or back of the throat. As the body begins to react to the virus (generally one to three days), mucus thickens and may turn yellow or green. In viral infections, antibiotics will not be useful, and are a major avenue for misuse. Treatment is generally symptom-based; often it is sufficient to allow the immune system to fight off the virus over time.
So mucus should be clear (beginning), turn to yellow/green (when body reacts to the virus) and back to clear (recovering).

kam is absolutely right!! I remembered my boy started off with clear runny mucus in the beginning, few days later became thick yellowish mucus, then few days later became clear runny mucus again!! that time i tot how come he still havent recovered? The whole course of his flu took about 1.5 to 2 weeks, without any medicine. and only fruits, extra fruits, lemon and honey.
Luca,
I may be right or may be wrong.
I think your boy is still fighting with the virus, either because 1) this virus is very potent, not easy for his body to fight off, or 2) your boy's immune system is not strong enough, so take very long time to fight off.
Last time when HR was having phlegmy cough, I cooked the pre-packed cough remedy, those contains 南杏,北杏 one from the chinese medical hall. It helped. Antibiotics definitely not going to help if it's a viral infection.
