12 Sep 2009 - Javier needs steroid

Javier has not recovered from his cough after few days of neubilizing. Though he did not cough very much, but when we carried him, we can feel that his lung seems to have a bit of phlegm. So this morning, we decided to bring him back to Dr Tan for a review. After checking on Javier, Dr Tan suggested that we should start on a course of antibiotic (Augmentin) and continue with the use of neubilizer. At the same time, he felt that the reason why the neubilizer previously was not quite effective was because there may be some blockage in Javier's airway. As such, he reluctantly prescribe a small dosage of steroid to unblock the airway. Hopefully Dr Tan was right and Javier's condition can improve. I'm worried that he may end up asthmatic. So the priority is to clear his lung. Poor Javier, so young already take so much medicine......sigh........ Will be going back for another review in a week's time. Be strong, my little prince.
