Maxim is sick again. He got some kind of cold. No temperature, but his nose is running and he is coughing often. Also his breathing isn’t the most pleasant to hear – it’s like a savage beast is sittnig inside of him.
If by tomorrow he won’t get better, we’ll take him to the doctor.
Maxim’s temperature is under control now. But we’ve got another problem. It seems that one of the syrops that we gave him caused an allergy. He is all covered with tiny red dots.
We went to see Dr.Simos again. He confirmed that Maxim has an allergetic reaction. We decided to stop with all current syrops and to try a new one – an anti-allergetic one. Hopefully it’ll help.
Maxim’s behaviour is healthier. He is more active overall. But with all the red stuff he is sad to look at.
Off into tomorrow…
Maxim looks much better today. The temperature wasn’t there in the morning. It came back in the afternoon, but did climb higher than +38C. Then dropped. Then got back. But overall, he looks healthier and more active.
Because he still has the temperature, I guess we’ll be visiting Dr.Simos again tomorrow. There’s also a side effect from all the syrups we are giving him in a form of a few tiny red dots on his forehead and some more on his tummy.
He still eats good and drinks a lot though…
Maxim’s temperature didn’t go down, so we went to see Dr.Simos. He checked the kid thoroughly and said that Maxim’s throat is soar. He seems to have some sort of virus infection – nothing serious though.
Maxim was prescribed a couple of sirups that should easy up his throat and help fight the temperature. It is expected that by Wednesday he should be fully OK.
By the way – to those of you who trust only in “natural” ways of healing I have to say “Reconsider!”. I was once again amazed by the wonders of technology and progress today, when a sample was quickly taken from Maxim’s throat and analyzed with a bunch of chemicals, giving a rather precise result within 10 minutes – what was and what wasn’t there and what is the best way to fix it.
Amen to the technology!
P.S.: Oh, and the front upper teeth are coming too. We can almost see them.
Maxim’s temperature is still high, although we can control it a bit. We try to not let it go above +39C. His gum is even more swollen. His moods are still swinging.
We called Dr.Simos and told him the story. He suggested to bring Maxim for a check tomorrow if the temperature will remain high.
We’ll see.
In the meantime, a bath with cooler wather than usual helped in chilling him down a bit.
