Antibiotics

On Monday Kaio came home from daycare with a slight fever. He did not seem to have any other symptoms - he was eating well, was smiley, he just needed to be held and cuddled. We gave him some paracetamol and put him in bed at 7pm. I went to bed at 9pm expecting it to be a long night! I was surprised to wake up at 7am and Kaio was just waking up!!!! On tuesday he had 39C fever at daycare and I took him to the Dr. After examining him, she prescribed some antibiotics since his chest seemed a bit congested (he has been coughing for a couple of weeks now) and his ears and throat were a bit red. She also prescribed a mouth nebulizer.
He was such a trooper while we gave him:
- 1 spoon of vitamins (which we give every day)
- 1 spoon of antibiotics
- 2 puffs in a nebulizer (he giggled when we put the mouth piece over his mouth!!!)
Today, wednesday, he is much better and back to his old self!
Kaio has indeed picked up several 'bugs' at daycare, but the good thing is that he is building his immunity and he seems to get over his illnesses fairly quick!!! He is such a great baby!
