Mummies,
Our akk has been coughing for 2 weeks.
1st cough syrup seems to make him cough more and we have went back to the clinic to get a new type.
Sadly, the cough refuse to go away.

It seems that he has stubborn phelm that refuses to expel out.

If this continue for 2 more weeks, we might have prob turning up for the Bday bash.

See how first. If the cough is mild, we'll probably just pop by to drop the balloons and hang around a while, but will not let him down to play in case he spreads the virus around.
 
Woo hoo! Doorbell rang early this morning and loot from Party city finally arrived. The box is almost filled up so will allocate domestic and international shipping by weight and email each spreeist. Some of the item's plastic packaging has been pierced but contents are intact because Party city tried to pack as compactly as possible as I instructed.

Hi AKK, how are you? Sorry to interrupt but I read your posts and out of curiosity, was wondering what's the cough syrup your boy's on? From my understanding, PD are unwilling to give cough syrup for babies below 1 yr old. All my boy gets for his cough was mucolix which is for the phlegm. He's got a whole lot of other medication as well but they were more for his asthma which usu got triggered when he catches a cold/flu...
 
Joan,
eh.. maybe I am using the wrong term, doctor gave medicine for cough, so I just mention it as cough syrup. it could be other stuff. I didn't take note of the medical term. I will check tonight.

the 1st one that the PD gave is to cure the cough only.
when we told the PD that it causes more frequent cough, she gave us another one, which is a mixture for cough, cold and vomit. During that time, our akk had running nose and recovering from fever and diahhrea.

till today, he has recovered from running nose and fever. just some cough occassionally.

we are also in a dilemma.
continue medication? dunno what else can cure him now.
stop medication? worried that it will develop into long term cough.

now we chose the latter. hopefully we can get the phelm out and get better some day.

btw, he has 2 bottom tooth halfway out, not sure if its due to teething.
today he started diahhrea again. sigh...
 
take care ainsley.. drink more water and u will get well soon..

genesis, what kind of cuisine? I brought hub to gyu-kaku this year for his bday and he lurve it..
 
joan...my pd prescribed prospan for the cough.
i suppose its mild cause its just ivy plant extract.

akk....yeah teething will cause diahhorea for some babies. mine had that when he's teething too. its ok de...so long as u clean his bum fast after he poo-ed, if not it will cause bad rash.
Speedy recovery to little akk ya and u guys take care.
 
can i ask u all a qn, what do u all use to clean bb teeth and tongue now? im still using hanky w water.. should i change? wana try first teeth but dunno if he can adapt..
 
take care Ainsley and baby shay..
AKK - maybe u wan to try herbal medi (can add cordyceps into his porridge etc also)

Gensis - wow bday huh. romantic plc - go to keppel bay? http://www.prive.com.sg/ hehehe

White beehoon - I going this sunday for dinner. it is v "hot" place? besides beehoon - got other dishes boh? :p
 
AKK : oic. My pd said normally cough will take longer to go away ... for KZ, it took abt 2 weeks later... and 1 day, he miraculously stopped coughing
happy.gif


Shryn: tks, now i know there's suitable cough mixture for infants. Actually am adverse to giving medication, but once i know my boy has asthma, gave in to everything Dr prescribed and dutifully fed him all the medication incl oral steriods! Feeding him the dosages is a nightmare.
 
Hi Wei Ting, had the same qn on my mind too now tat he has 4 at bottom and 5 at top. Took a naught pic of his bottom teeth the other day :p

joan - my no1 also was at the verge of asthma. my Pd wanted to introduce "inhaler" to him. (after many rounds of neuberlise)

but i really adverse to it. thus switch him to TCM... and he really got much better over time.

AKK.. I didn't give any medicine when my bb was down with persistence cough for 2weeks .. and her phelgm was also quite bad.... but I monitor her if there is fever... will give her the normal fever medicine..

It recovers on its own..

Now, whenever she is teething.. she will have loose stool and running nose.. so I know she is teething again..
 
angkuku, I have been bringing my bb to see chinese physician after she recovered from flu/cough/phlegm taking PD's medicine PD gave antibiotic plus a few syrup after she recovered I stop going to PD.. now that i go to see chinese one, near my house medical hall, only the most 2 types 1 is powder one is cough syrup... so far everytime when i heard she got a lot phlegm i bring her there and just one dose that night i can heard NO more coughing! and it improve after I finish all 5 days of medicine, just my experience to share. (one bb in IFC also very bad phlegm/whizzing sound took medicine for a few months also not recovered, the teachers recommend the parent to go see the chinese doc and one dose they can see improvement liao! and they said finally they can have a good night sleep!)
 
Sandy - ya ... v painful when he sank his teeth into my arm ... luckily not b'feeding anymore

MTDT - PM-ed you to ask for more advice ...TQ in advance
 
Cough syrup: acts as a suppression NOT a cure for cough. When given to infants, there are risks of rapid heartbeat or brain might sent msg to bb not to breath. Cough, fever and mucus are bb friends. Don't go freak out everytime any of them comes. Supressing any if the above when no need to harms ur child, not help. (Google it and u will find the answer)

Shay is also teething now, flu might be caused by teething.

The Ten Signs of Teething

1. Irritability: As the new tooth rises closer to the surface your baby’s gums may become increasingly more sore and painful, leading to fussiness and crying.

2. Drooling: From three to four months of age you may see your baby start drooling more often than normal. Teething stimulates drooling, which may be worse with some babies than others.

3. Coughing: The increase in saliva can cause your baby to occasionally cough or gag. As long as your baby shows no signs of a cold or flu and does not run a high fever, this is noting to worry about.

4. Chin rash: If your baby is a heavy drooler, the constant contact with saliva may cause the skin around the chin and mouth to become irritated. Gently wipe your baby’s mouth and chin periodically throughout the day to help prevent chapped skin and rashes.

5. Biting & gnawing: A teething baby will gnaw and gum down on anything. The counter pressure from biting helps relieve the pressure from under the gums and temporarily numbs the pain. Teething aids designed specifically for babies are safe and effective.

6. Cheek rubbing and ear pulling: Pain in the gums may spread to the ears and cheeks particularly when the back molars begin coming in. This is why you may see your baby rubbing their cheeks or pulling at their ears. However, keep in mind that pulling at an ear can also be a sign of an ear infection, especially when accompanied by a fever.

7. Diarrhea: Most parents usually notice slightly looser bowel movements when a baby is teething. A recent study done by the Children’s Hospital in Australia found this to be the most common symptom of teething, yet many doctors still disagree and discount diarrhea as a symptom of teething. The most likely cause of diarrhea during teething is the extra saliva swallowed, which then loosens the stool. Report any diarrhea that lasts for more than three bowel movements to your doctor.

8. Low-grade fever: A fever is another symptom that doctors are sometimes hesitant to directly link with teething. Many parents however find their baby gets a low-grade fever while teething. Notify your doctor if the temperature rises above 39C (102F) or if the temperature remains elevated for more than 2 days.

9. Not sleeping well: You may find your child wakes more often at night. Most parents agree that night waking occurs more frequently when the molars are coming in.

10. Cold like symptoms (runny nose, etc.): Some parents find that their baby displays cold-like symptoms when teething. Runny noses, coughing and general cold symptoms are believed to be a result of frequent hand-to-mouth movements in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Notify your doctor if cold-like symptoms occur for more than 3 days and do not improve on their own.

Clio got oral thrush recently, I usually use wet hanky to wash her mouth. Pd says its not good enuf, once got teeth, got to use toothpaste
 
Weiting, i'm using pigeon brush & first teeth toothpaste. I start brushing once she had her 1st toothy.

Justalamb, how does oral thrush looks like?
 
Karen: Maybe he's like his father who stopped growing taller when he was only 12y.o. So hopefully he keeps growing until 12... otherwise da le kao bu dao girlfriend

oh.. thanks so much Mummies. I understand it better now after reading the experiences and information here.

the diahhrea that our akk had was quite bad, hit 6-7 times a day. went to PD and all looks well. given some medication and the usual dilution etc.

now we'll just keep monitoring and observe his behavior.

Karen,
Thanks so much for the teething information.

Veron,
which Chinese physician did you go? We have a Ma Kuang (马光) at our neighbourhood. We will go there if it gets really really bad.
 
Akk, my dr says that its conmon for bb to take 2 to 3 wks to recover fr flu and cough..my girl juz recovered from it and she took 2 wks
 
Karen, for Clio, she got some white/cream residue at the side walls in the mouth. While her tongue is clean, reddish n very kissable :p

Clio got sensitive skin n always get red patches on her cheeks. Pd said cld b due to saliva, chk her mouth n discovered the cause! True enuf, after we banish the oral thrush, no more 'rosy' cheeks
 
Janiz,
Thanks for sharing. We hope this will past soon.
