Heard from my MIL that chubs started having a bit of runny nose yesterday evening and she promptly proceeded to give her medicine we got from the PD the last time round (which was very recent). This morning, however, chubs has woken up with a cough in addition to her runny nose. Apparently her nose is like a leaking tap and her mucus keep dripping and she slurps it up! YES, my chubs actually clears her own mucus by licking and slurping it up when it reaches her lips. Therefore, my poor MIL has to be very vigilant and be always ready with a wet hanky to wipe away chubs' mucus before it reaches her mouth. Don't think the cough is very bad but MIL has decided to start with the cough mixture this morning to prevent it from getting worse and prevent the onset of a fever that often accompanies a cough.
Yesterday night and this morning saw me cleaning the house and preparing for chubs' return to our house tonight. I was so looking forward to having her home but it seems like it's not meant to be. Just had a conversation with my MIL and she suggested leaving chubs there for another night because she's worried I might not be handle a sick chubs on my own (Hubs is on overnight shift tonight) and I gotta admit it's true. The tricky part about taking care of a sick chubs is having to feed her medicine during her feed and nowadays she tends to struggle and resist medication and we need at least 2 people for this task to ensure she finishes her medication. Without Hubs at home tonight with us, I do not have the confidence to take good care of my little precious. I just have to contend with visiting her tonight and hopes she gets well enough to go back home with me tomorrow.
Let's hope this little cold episode is just a part of her teething process and nothing too serious. Baby, get well soon!
Poor thing! Hope she gets well soon!
