Finger ! Finger ! FINGER !

2nd Opinion

Last night, Ash was woken from her sleep by a bout of coughing. After patting her back to sleep, I slowly door to closed the cot. The next thing I heard was Ash shouting "finger, Finger, FINGER !!!!" In the darkness and my sleepiness, I failed to notice that her right index finger was still at the edge. Poor Ash cried so loudly.

This evening we brought Ash to see Dr. Zainal for 2nd opinion. She was still coughing very badly at night and sometimes even throwing up. Good news is that her lungs sounded clear, no "crackling" sound heard. Dr. Zainal said that her dosage of Fluimicil seemed a little high and that may have been the reason for the phelgmy coughs at night, so he reduced her dosage to 1/2 a packet twice a day from 1 packet, three times a day. Rhiniramine was changed to Fedac for her runny nose. For her norctunal coughing bouts, she was prescribed Pulmicort which has to sprayed into the Aero Chamber which is placed over Ash's nose for her to breathe in the vapor mist. He also wanted her to do a chest X-ray since she has been coughing for close to a month. We'll be bringing her down to Sengkang Polyclinic to do the X-ray this Friday.
