My little boy has been under the weather for a couple of days now. It started with an itchy throat then coughing and a runny nose. The following day, we woke up to him feeling weak. The nanny recounted that he has thrown up twice in the morning already. He felt warm to the touch too. His eyes were quite watery also. He wasn't active as you would expect from a toddler. It was quite evident that he wasn't feeling himself that morning.
I didn't bother with breakfast anymore. We went to the hospital to have him checked. He complained about his headache. Fortunately, the fever didn't progress. We gave him meds for the cough, colds and headache. We were instructed to monitor his temp and to see if rashes would surface. By mid-afternoon, he was already running around as if he didn't feel ill in the first place. He must be on his way to recovery.
After his midday nap today, he woke up with crusting in his right eye. I was also informed that his bowel movement has changed. He threw up his lunch also. I went out to get his fave from Jollibee just to make sure he eats. Now, whenever he coughs, it seems that he's about throw up everything he took in.
Since I am not seeing any relief in him, I tried the Vicks-and-socks remedy. It has been said to cure even the most intense cough in children and adults. But, he woke up crying, wanting to remove the socks. Now, I won't have any idea if it is really effective.
It looks like we have a long night ahead of us.

I hope it doesn't affect Javi, too.
