Disaster strikes again ! - updates

My horoscope in LIFE! today states:
Try something healthy and fun today - a new kind of workout, a nutritious treat or maybe even a dance class. You need to take care of yourself but it does not have to be a drag.
Urgh, take care of myself...yes, but it is a drag. My immunity broke down after daddy has been coughing non-stop for the past few days and his condition worsened with diarrhoea last Friday after yx who vomited on Wed after coughing really badly, followed by diarrhoea.

31 Aug 2013 Sat:
Took porridge at night and then started vomiting almost every hour non-stop since past midnight. I was practically rolling and cringing my stomach at the corner of my bed every hour. At one point, it was really so bad that I just sat on the floor on a praying position. Before every vomit, I will turn feverish and after every vomit, the feverish symptoms subsided and my stomach felt better. This cycle went on for 7 times throughout the night before I force myself to wake up to see the doctor in the morning.

I was given:

  • An injection for immediate relief of vomiting 
  • Dimenate 50MG- to curb vomitting
  • Biotase Tablet - to curb abdominal wind and flatulence

I felt much better after injection and slept the whole morning. Then I took Dimenate tablet again in the afternoon but I didn't take any Biotase as I wanted to check if my condition improve without taking more tablets. Indeed, I was feeling alright so I stopped all medication. I continue pumping but saves the milk for washing my hands and feet although it should be quite safe for baby to drink.

I thought the worse was over but that was just the beginning.

1 Sep 2013 Sun: Sore throat starts, drank loads of water and honey
2 Sep 2013 Mon: Took Chericof lozenges amd Lysozyme (leftose). felt better.
3 Sep 2013 Tue: Sore throat worsen, excruciating pain. took Lysozyme (leftose) again just to relieve the pain
4 Sep 2013 Wed: can't take it anymore, went to see doc.

I was given:
  • Prednisolone 20MG - Anti inflammatory (5 Tab - must complete)
  • Amoxycillin/Calvulate acid 625MG - Antibiotic (10 Tab - must complete)
  • Beathricin Lozenge - Throat lubrication, relieve itch/pain; anti-inflammatory with mild anaesthetic
  • Chlorpheniramine (Piriton) 4MG - Running nose & itch
After checking with doc, the viral attack stems from yx and it has mutated to different forms in different bodies and that is why my body reacted quite differently from her and my hub.

So what now? I am almost halfway through the course of antibiotics. Although it has cleared up the sore throat, my body has developed greenish yellow sticky phlegm around my lungs to spit up as part of the detoxification routine to flush out the "dirts". My throat has also turned drier which makes it more susceptible to dry cough when the night turns chilly. Ok, this is the better of the worse. The good news is my appetite is coming back which means I can go for nutritious treats, but no workout or anything fun yet. =\
