Happy wheezer

Shawn started coughing on Friday, out of a sudden. It became very phelgmy and deep. At night, he was coughing too. Then he had slight fever that night. The next day, he was okay though he had cough. So we decided to go ahead with zoo with Steph/Sing/Justin. That night he had mild fever again. He coughed throughout the night, kept me awake too. Sunday, we brought him to Dr Lee. She said he doesn't have any wheezing. After breakfast we went home. Shawn was tired so he had a nap. Half way thru he coughed and vommitted his breakfast out. For the 1st time he vomitted his meal out. Then for the 2nd time was after his night milk. Dinner and milk came out on my hair, back and the floor, while I was carrying him. Yucks... anyway, poor kid. Night time he coughed throughout and that kept me awake again. Today, he woke up at 6am and asked for milk. Then he went back to sleep for 45min and woke up and asked for milk again. He drank and was happy. Later YT and I brought him to Dr Khor. Conclusion, he is wheezing. Got to resort to an inhaler to open up his airways and let him breathe well. Probably would be using it for 2-3days. I decided to get the inhaler/aerobreath from Dr Khor, at least for standby for future use should he gets this horrible kind of cough again. Dr Khor also suggested a TCM baby massage when he gets better. She made a remark that he didn't seem sick at all, as he was roaming around her clinic and playing while we were talking. She called him the happy wheezer. Hopefully happy wheezer would stop wheezing soon.
