GUG Class Photo


Viv just received this photo early this morning.

Teacher Florence said that she will be going on a long holiday and may not be able to see some of her class when she comes back in January. So she took this when the class eneded.


















Effects of Promethazine

Ash was prescribed Promethazine by KKH for her runny nose and cough. I noticed a change in her mood since we started administering it to her. Last night she woke up crying. She was moody, bad tempered and tempremental the whole of today and just now, she woke suddenly in terror.
So I did some searching on the web and this is what I found :

Children—Serious side effects, such as convulsions (seizures), are more likely to occur in younger patients and would be of greater risk to infants than to older children or adults. In general, children are more sensitive to the effects of antihistamines. Also, nightmares or unusual excitement, nervousness, restlessness, or irritability may be more likely to occur in children. The use of phenothiazine-derivative antihistamines is not recommended in children who have a history of difficulty in breathing while sleeping, or a family history of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) .
