My Poor Baby

Last night Via couldn't sleep and kept on crying. Her nose was clogged and she couldn't breathe. It was so bad that her eyes got red and was tearing. I tried to pump her nose but she wouldn't let me. Good thing Daddy was home. He said it must be allergic rhinitis (which she would have gotten from me) since her lungs sounded okay. He gave her antihistamine. To unclog her nose, he turned on hot shower and let it run in the bath with some vicks mixed in. Via and I sat inside the bathroom which felt like a steam room to me. He checked on us from time to time and after about 15 minutes Via could breathe through her nose.

Aside from the clogged nose, worm was found in her poo yesterday so she would need deworming. She's only 13 months! But I guess that was inevitable the way she put everything she could get her hands on in her mouth.

Today we went to Via's pediatrician to get her checked and also see if she can have the chicken pox vaccine. Turned out, the doctor was out of the vaccine and said it's better to wait until the colds from her allergy clears.

So she got meds for her allergy and the deworming which I will now buy from the drugstore as the new Pharmacy here in our office doesn't have one of them. I sure hope she gets relief soon. It's so hard to see her cry.
