On Monday, Alfee started having a wee bit of temperature. I held back from sending him to Dr Ang because I was hoping that our immune system could cope with it. Also, he is not too thrilled about oral medication. Unfortunately, it has since escalated into a secondary infection. His mucus has turned thick and greenish and his temperature soared to 38.7 degrees. In the end, I still sent him to Dr Ang yesterday.
He was hell broke loose with his medication. Every time we springed medication into his mouth, he would gurgle before vomiting it out. Even when we tricked him into swallowing, he would somehow find a way to gag. In the end, I wasted two doses of anitbiotics and a couple of other drugs. Fortunately, we managed to force 70% of the anitbiotics down last night. His fever seems to be breaking (or at least longer intervals between medication).
This morning, we succeeded again with lots of distraction and my helper. He took all the wnitbiotics and some cough and runny nose medication. All in all, only 5 - 6 ml of 30 minutes of effort. Hopefully, the little man will recover soon enough. His voice is husky and his eyes look glassy now.
