Bronchiolitis

Nikolas is still coughing quite badly; hence Mummy decided to bring him back to KKH’s Children Emergency today...

Mummy was so anxious when Doc tell mummy that Nikolas is having BRONCHIOLITIS..
big medical term....

The Doc help to suck out the phlegm through Didi’s nostril .. poor Nikolas .. he cried so loud! :(

On discharge from the children’s emergency, the doc gave some medication for Nikolas.. and ask Mummy to lay Nikolas on his side; as it will help Nikolas breathe easier.

Mummy is being reminded to monitor Nikolas closely for any sign of breathlessness or fever...

Mummy is sure stressed up... :(

Nikolas, pls get well soon....

Bronchiliolitis is an infection in young children, occurring mainly in infants and children less than 2 years old. It is caused by viruses that affect the small breathing airways.

The illness begins as a cold, leading to cough and breathlessness. This may interfere with feeding and sleep. Babies with bronchiolitis are usually sick for 3-5 days, and then gradually recover over the next 2-3 days. The cough itself, may persist for 2-3 weeks.
