Antibiotics

Did u know that not all antibiotics are suitable for kids? I just found out the hard way that Aleesya is sensitive towards one.

She was down with the normal cough and flu last Friday and we decided to get her some medication. The doctor prescribed her some antibiotics as well to speed up her recovery. The next day, her cough and flu got better but she was complaining of a stomach ache. And she perged and vomited a few times in one day. She also lost her appetite and didn't wanna eat anything... Kesian. She also developed a fever. All in one day.... =(

We went back to the clinic and the doctor said the diarrhoea may be caused by the antibiotics. Some kids will react differently. We switched to another kind of antibiotics and hopes she will recover soon.. The doctor also advised us to give her some ORS water and "air kanji" which is bubur yang berair to help cleanse her tummy.. so, I cooked a large pot of porridge and make her eat it little by little.. Since then, her fever has gone, no more vomiting & perging and she is resting well. Get well soon, sayang!

Better check on your kids' antibiotics!
