This is my fourth time admitted to hospital. First time was back in Sep 2005 due to throat infection and fever. The second time was Mar 2007 down with stomach flu. The third one was just few months back in 7 May 2008 due to fever too. I was admitted again on 15 Sep 2008 night.
I started coughing on 12 Sep. Started fever 39.6° on Saturday. I was coughing badly with lots of phlegm. Went to GP in the night, vomited in the clinic. After the vomiting the phlegm came out but fever didn’t subside. After which my cough become hacking dry cough, persistently coughing none stop. I refused to eat and drink as the cough irritates me. No input and output too. Normally I drink lots of water and urine frequently. But I didn’t want to take anything. My diaper was dry throughout the night too.
There is no improvement on Sunday. Daddy and mummy brought me to KK hospital in the night. Doctor say no need admission. Went home with new sets of medicine. There is still no improvement on the fever. I refused to co-operate in taking medicine. Normally I won’t have any problem taking. After taking the medicine, I will throw out after cough.
Daddy and mummy brought me back to KK again hoping they will admit me. Still, they refuse. On Monday night we went to the regular GP for last opinion. GP says KK should have admit me as I’m dehydrating. My lip was tearing apart. She advised us if I still not eating and vomiting out the medication must admit me to hospital. After taking medicine at 9pm, I threw out again. Mummy decided to bring me to Mt Alvernia hospital. On the way to hospital, I threw up again in the car.
I was admitted and put on drip. Due to my cough, I was on neubraliser. PD say I have ear infection too that’s why the fever didn’t subside. Mummy stayed with me in the hospital. Fever went down quite quickly with the care by the nurses.
I was discharged on Wed morning. PD says my ear is better and no more fever. My cough is better though still got phlegm. But at least I’m coughing out from the lungs.
