When will it actually end?

Ever since Gabriel started going to nursery, he has been falling sick way too often. Before, his flu or cough normally last about 3 days. Now, it carries on for weeks. He has been coughing for the past 2-3 months, and once in a while the runny nose joins in. He has seen both the doctor and a TCM specialist. He would be fine for a week or so and everything starts again. Is it the weather? Or is he having allergic reaction to something?



He's been on the nebuliser for a week now as he was wheezing badly. When we first started, it was about 6-7 times a day. Now we're down to once a day, just before he sleeps at night. We slept without air-con the whole time - which was really torturing for us adults. He hasn't been to school since. We are still considering whether we should organize a party for his birthday, which is less than 2 weeks away.

I can fully understand what you are going through... I have no idea what is wrong with my boys too. Must be the kindergarten. You should monitor and maybe change the school. My cousin did it for his son and he does not fall sick that often anymore. I would like to too but it is very difficult here.

Shirley - I do believe it's the school. His classroom is air-conditioned, and going in and out from cold to hot is definitely not good for him who sweats a lot. He likes the school, so I won't be moving him anywhere unless absolutely necessary.

Li-anne - He is much much better now, not wheezing at least. What do you feed Terelle with to boost her immune?

i give her colostrum from the brand ChildLife. If u buy fr GNC its pretty ex so i usually buy from US and ship via vpost.

When she starts showing signs of falling sick ill give her an extra dose of Vit C, oso from ChildLife.

Usually these 2 supplements do the trick, so far she seems to be able to fight the bugs pretty well, even when sick she gets well v fast.
