Attend School This Day, Drop School The Next Day!
Pity my children. They always get sick. Whenever there is someone down with flu or cough, sure they get it very easily, especially my Wei. Next will be my boy because receives germs a lot from his Jie Jie. Zhen Nam had a sudden fever when nearly dawn around 5am. He has been coughing during his sleep at night these two days till he vomitted. As I said, got it from Jie Jie lor. Wei had fever, cough and flu on Monday. She skipped her first day of school while my boy skipped on the second trial day of school. I think I'll only send him again in April.
I'm worried about my children's health because of their weak immune system. They can be sick at least once each month. I'm quite tired nowadays to bring them up and down to see doctors in the morning, then rush to work in the afternoon while at night, I've to blog a bit after both children are asleep. Not just a day but most of the time have to be back for follow check-up. Even my own body's immune system is deteriorating.
My both children are borned with allergic of skin, nose and the bronchi of lungs. Their paediatrician said that these are inherited from the family or relatives. My Wei has been infected with bronchitis last year, I think it was during the haze. The only way to stop their cough is to take nebuliser. My son cries like hell whenever he takes it.
I was advised by their paedia to give them Seretide with pumps at home, like those with asthma for 6 months. The period ended last Sept and it works. Since then they didn't get cough for more than 4 months. Unfortunately they started to get sick again regularly since CNY. The paedia asked me to start the pumps again for 1 month but my hubby strongly disapproves as he thinks that our children will rely on it in later days. I just don't know what to do to make them healthier. I bought them Vitamin C and probiotics but still it doesn't give effect. Do any mummy bloggers out there who encounter the same problem as me?

Actually we are same-same as my son also get sick always. I remember the year when he just enter into Kinder, I need to take EL almost everymonth just because he sick. Touchwood he's ok now. Don't worry I'm sure your boy will get used to it soon.

Wei, i went to see my kids' paed yesterday, and he said that Pediasure is also just cow's milk. For sensitive kids, it's better to go for NAN 2. Most cow milk really trigger the allergies further.
All this while I thought I was the only mum around coping with children that get sick pretty often, with skin and lung allergy too. In fact every middle of the month either one will fall ill and then it will be passed and the cycle begins. So my son's attendance to kindy is also affected.
I have a son who is only 1.5 yrs on Seretide too since he turned 1. Prior to that he was on Inflammide. I give them Vit C and probiotic too. It does help in terms of reducing the severity of the ill incidents.
Damien was put on Seretide for a month last year due to his asthmatic cough (I am asthmatic). Now, i let him take Vit C everyday. You may try giving your kids Vit C.
Hope they're feeling better already. Take care!
Thanks a lot mummies here. I'll try to give them Vit C constantly each day fr now on. My children are still coughing all the way, but I know, it takes time for them to fully recover.
