What a mess

Been busy taking care of my little munchkin. He has a runny nose which makes him irritated since sunday evening...

Monday
He lost his appetite and cries over little things. What scared the hell out of me is when he choked on his saliva twice which made him throw up. I'm on my panic mode again as I recall that it has the same volume (approx. 4 oz. contents of milk and solids) the first time he got sick.

He also can't sleep well that night. I tried different things to soothe his fussiness but it's no use. I can't pacify him

I tried controlling my emotion as my little one can get scared if he sees me crying or if I'm not in my usual happy, smiling face. But, I can't. I really can't. I'm worried and scared at the same time. I'm just so lucky that my mum is always there to guide and help me.

Tuesday
Went to see his pedia first thing in the morning.
I thought he got it from his dad (has a flu) or through his cousins (both has cough and colds) who were here last saturday.
His pedia said that he's only experiencing teething symptoms. What a relief! Whew!

After giving his prescribed medicines and rubbing his gums with Xylogel (it works!), he's back messing our room. Here's proof:


*FYI: for first time mums like me, teething symptoms may include:
• Drooling
• Gum swelling and sensitivity
• Irritability
• Biting behavior
• Refusing food
• Sleep problems
