Return of the Fever Season

The boys had been having runny nose while in Malaysia for CNY. This runny nose developed into cough and then excessive phelgm and finally fever. This Fever then refused to go and kept hovering around 38 - 39 degree Celsius. They can't sleep well due to the runny nose and appetite was poor. Feeding was difficult and they were cranky throughout the day. We had to sponge the babies when the fever start to rise and to feed them medicine in the middle of the night. I was having reservist during the period and need to travel long distance early in the morning and hence I had requested Felin to sleep with the babies. Both Felin and I were really tired and badly deprived of sleep. My neck started to ache so badly that I had to turn my whole body in order to see what is beside me. Its probably caused by the lack of sleep.

Money Money Money!!! I can't remember how many times we had visited the doctors and hospitals so far over the past 13 months. We should had already spend at least a thousand or two in total on outpatient treatments, excluding the hospitalisation for both of them alone.

Just as their recovery was slow and the medicine started to run out, I decided to bring both of them to see TCM. I had heard about this TCM called Yu Guo and I brought them over for a try. We went at 2pm and its not that crowded. There was a lot of babies and children everywhere in the clinic as they are famous for their baby massage and Tuina. We were given consultation and learned a few new TCM knowledge. They were given some medication and was sent for Tuina on the spot. Interestingly, Josiah's fever was gone the next day after they did the Kua Sa. I think I'll bring them here regularly to strengthed their bodies in future.
