After 5 days of being down with high fever, a swollen throat and stuffy nose, my little cili padi is back on her feet again. She started going to pre-school again yesterday, attended her second ballet lesson (and wore her new ballet costume and she was in seventh heaven!), regained her appetite (and boy, her appetite was quite ravenous!) and stopped being crabby. She was all bubbly, chatty and mischevious again since yesterday. The fever only subsided on the 5th day of taking the Augmentin antibiotics. Fortunately, the 5-day course of Augmentin managed to bring her fever down, else she would have to either continue the Augmentin for another 2 days or be prescribed with another antibiotics, just like what happened to Alycia about 2 years back when she also fell really ill, for the same reason. My 2 older girls are very very prone to throat infections and our paed said that it’s hereditary coz both the hubs and I also have sensitive throats and are easily prone to throat infections and ulcers (esp. the hubs).
good to hear that Sher is well. Ashley is very prone to having ulcers too and I wonder why that happens. Now I know that it’s because hubs has them a lot. BTW, don’t the girls experience diarrhea after taking augmentin each time? is there any type of antibiotics besides that?
happy to hear that the little chilli pads is “firing” at our fronts again!
sorry, our=all
Barb… oh yes, my kids get diarrhea whenever they take Augmentin. Yes, there’s another type of abx that doesn’t cause diarrhea. I can’t remember the name. It could be Zithromax, but I’m not too sure. Perhaps you can ask your paed next time.
Paik Ling… yeah, tell me about it, she’s back to her cheeky and mischevious self again!
