Ethan's allergy

Ethan is sensitive to cold wheather. We found out about his allergy when he was about 1 1/2 years, back in Indonesia. When he gets cold, his muscus would blog his breathing airway and makes him throw up since he can not get his muscus out from his mouth yet since he's still little. He would throw up especially when we give him milk. He needs medicine to help him get rid of the muscus and the good thing is not difficult to ask Ethan to drink his medicine. Thank God also, Ethan likes wearing warm clothes, socks and put on minyak telon, minyak kayu putih and vicks vaporub. He enjoys this. I guess his body feel better also after we give him all those stuffs above. But he also enjoys ice cubes and ice creams which we need to limit for him especially during winter time.

Recently, it happened on January 22, friday night when he was sleeping on his bed that we felt hot on his forehead. We temped him and he was 102 degree. We were suprised. We gave him tylenol and his fever came down. But over the weekend, his fever was still on and off. It was off after we gave him tylenol but it was on again after 4 hours. We needed to get him to a doctor since there must be an infection that causing the fever.

We went to the doctor on Monday morning, the doctor told us that his muscus was already on his lungs and he needed to do breathing treatment to help Ethan breath. The doctor gave us antibiotic and medicine to help him breath easier. Ethan was not able to go to school from Monday to Thursday. He was sick for 1 week and he lost some weight. He refused to drink milk since milk is sticky and it's hard for him to swallow due to his muscus.

On the other hand, he enjoyed his time at home with Mommy. And when it was time to get back to school again, he needed to adjust to his routinity again. That was harder than we expected. When papi drives him to school, he would say: No. He cried again when papi dropped him off. When i pick him up from school, he says: go home, mommy. But he's back to school and starts to enjoy school again now, after 3 - 4 days of adjustment. And he enjoys drinking milk again. His appetite is back to normal. We thank God.
