Jon's ill

Poor boy had been this throaty cough with loads of phlegm two weeks ago, although it happens only in the afternoon when he naps and at night when he sleeps. Then on Mon and Tue, he kept saying he was "hot". While his body felt warm, the temperature didn't go higher than 38 degrees. But he kept asking for water, and MIL said that fever is eminent. True enough, Jon came back from nursery on Wed with a nasty sore throat and fever. With a greenish phlegm, it's anti-biotic for sure.

Ok, this will be gross.....Doc said that there's mucus at his sinus area. When Jon lies down to sleep, it's all stuck there, and it has dribbled down his throat, so that explains the phlegm. Poor boy had thrown up his lunch when he napped in the afternoon, and his night milk feed at night coz of the stooopid phlegm blocking his airways. Thankfully, he didn't throw up last night and let's hope tonight too.

This morning, MIL boiled two eggs and wrapped them up with red onions in a cloth to make a pouch. She rubbed it all over Jon's back in a downward motion, and over his stomach too. Almost immediately, Jon passed out gas! She said after giving him his meds, he should be better. But the poor boy threw up his lunch and promptly didn't want to take his nap.

Now, after more than a week of phlegmy cough, it's a cold with lots of mucus! I hope he gets better...coz there's Cavan's birthday lunch tom and cousin Qiqi's birthday celebrations in the evening. And Cavan's also down with same symptoms as Jon.....
