I have written the other day that it's been 3 years and more that we didn't visit a pediatrician for my Lil girl as she's not that sick anymore. As use a natural antibiotic which is the moringa extract but it's so odd that last Friday we went to the hospital.
That was our only picture when we went to the hospital for a check-up, it was two days after she have a frequent high fever. We decided to bring her to the pediatrician for a check-up because the dengue case is rampant in our place.
If you look at our photo she was sleeping, she was so weak on that day that she can't even stand up because her temperature does not go down it was 38-39.5 °C always which made us worry about her condition.
Before she was finally checked by the doctor, she undergo CBC and X-ray first. When the results were out we immediately went to the doctor. The doctor was checking if her tonsils are bad, but according to her, it is normal.
The doctor checks her chest, to see if her lungs are filled with phlegm. But she said that it is fine.. she can't hear any phlegm on her chest.
She's even talking to my daughter and asking her name but sadly she's not talking, just look at her face.. she's not in a good mood because her temperature is high at the moment and she's chilling. The aircon of the room is very cold when we enter causing her to chill.
My daughter is a lively kid, whenever you asked her she will answer enthusiastically but that time she's not even saying a word. When the doctor asks her if there's something in her body that hurts, she will just shake her head.
Look at her poor little hands, she was badly hurt when the nurse took her blood for a CBC test. At first, she keeps moving to cause the blood vessels to fade and the nurse has to get on her other hands again. She was scared for sure because the last time she experience it she was still a toddler, so she can't remember anything.
The doctor asks her if her tummy is aching, and she just shakes her head as a sign of saying NO. After the check the doctor read the results of her CBC and her X-RAY.. everything is normal, but her White blood cells are in the low count.
The doctor gave us a prescription for her medication. She prescribed her medicine for cough and for runny nose as well as ORS to hydrate her.
But sadly, she didn't get any better with all those medicines prescribed by her pediatrician. Her cough is getting harder, and she can't breathe well due to her clogged nose. This is why I don't like going pediatrician, my daughter is not getting better every time they prescribe antibiotics.
Right now, I gave her moringa extract as her antibiotics again and stop letting her take the antibiotic prescribed by her pedia.
I just remember, that two weeks ago she has a cough and cold as well which is why I remember writing about moringa extract as I made one for her. She was cured but after two days her grandmother had a non-stop dry cough. Later the other day, Lil girl started to feel ill and the grandma's cough went away. I suspect the virus was transferred to her. She's just got from infection and here comes a stronger virus that strikes her hard.
The granny is hard-headed too, I keep telling her to wear a mask but she didn't. This is why I always got annoyed because when they are sick, my daughter will follow.
I hope she'll get better tomorrow or the next day though, she's been absent from her class recently..what a pity, she's so excited about schooling yet she gets sick right after two weeks of attending class!
