For 3 weeks, we tried to keep C away from this bug at home. Cayla was the first to show symptoms i.e. occasional runny nose and cough. That went on for 2 weeks. First line of defence came down when Daddy fell ill. One week later, I conceded defeat. Our last line of defence was broken when C exhibited signs of choking few days back. Initially I thought he might have grown weaker over time thus the swallowing issues. So I had been monitoring him closely for other signs. None. No fever, no mucus, no coughing except after choking and he slept fairly well with a slightly lower O2 and higher pulse rate (still within acceptable healthy range).
Until Dr Chong came by yesterday, did a quick check on C. Suspected that C might be having a mild flu with no flowing mucus to hint that he's actually having one. Backflow of the mucus could likely have caused the recent 'choking and coughing' incidents.
This morning C was significantly weaker and lethargic. Last I checked he was running a fever. I can foresee that this will be a stay-home Chinese New Year. Hope C will get well soon for his birthday celebration in March.
