I'm home today...down with flu. Since there are no swine flu cases in Malaysia...I think I'm safe despite being on the frontline.
It's my 2nd MC in the year! *applauding myself* despite seeing average 80 patients a day, these days up to 100+. This time, I got it from my dearest toddler.
2 sleepless night, well, in shifts actually. DH does tepid sponging too. Last night was a scare. I was contemplating visit to ER. Heard really odd cough...we call it barking cough. Also heard weird whistling sound during inspiration... we call it stridor. Thank God it wasn't continuous!! I thought she was having croup (laryngotracheobronchitis).
It subsided when she was cooled down by tepid sponging, sleeping on us. Saves her from steroid nebulisation in the middle of the night.
A visit to Dr. Yong Junina (should get a picture or her, but then her face is always on a parenting magazine- pane doctors)... and here's the result:
- Syrup Paracetamol
- Syr Carbocisteine "Rhinathiol"
- Oxymetazoline "Oxynase" nasal spray
She's ony 10.4kg (after substracting 0.6kg of her 3-yes 3 blankies she lugged around today), 81cm 2 weeks ago.

Anis, she sure is one of the nicer paeds :) Easier to see her coz the paeds in Pantai has his clinics only 3 times/week.
Oh and there's already one case of influenza in Malaysia.
