Sakiitttt...Tolooonggg

WARNING : This entry has a certain gross-ness to it, so don't proceed reading if you can't stand seeing gross-ness of any degree.

I don't know what's the deal between Irfan and antibiotic. Every time we feed him ANY antibiotic, he would throw up. That's the reason why we would wait until it's very, very, VERY necessary and unavoidable to see the paed, as there's no way for us to feed him most of the medicines, mainly the antibiotic, AND make sure it will stay put in his body for more than one minute.

Thus, yesterday when I brought him to the clinic due to high fever, I told the doc about this little problem and requested for the ubat bontot for his fever. I also mentioned to him that Irfan refused any form of antibiotics, and he could detect them even when we mix it with water or milk. So the doc prescribed strawberry-flavored antibiotic to be mixed with Vitagen, and just in case THAT still don't work, then we just gonna have to bring him over for a jab!

Now, which kids do not like Vitagen, you might ask. Well, for your information, MINE DOESN'T. All this while, he always thought that Vitagen is masam. Most of the time he would take a sip and let his fatty bom bom mama finish the rest. But last night, he took a sip and declared that Vitagen is UBAT, pulakkkkk! Hadoiiii...how on earth would he know that I mix the strawberry-flavored antibiotic in them?! They're strawberry-flavored, surely they don't taste like medicine, do they?

Come this morning, his fever was still high though I kept on shoving those pills down his bon-bon every 6-8 hours. He too kept on whining to me drama macam mama-nya jugakkk "Sakiiitttt...toooolooongggg" that I I decided to force the antibiotic down his throat, for his own good. BUT then, look at what happened 2 seconds after that!

He vomited right on my foot, and it was scorching hot that I almost got a 3rd degree burn!

 And immediately after, he laid down helpless, with that sad, far away look on his shrunken face. Poor baby!

I don't know what else to do. We'll be going to Cameron tomorrow but his fever isn't any better today than it was yesterday. We don't want to go for the jab, since he would have to be warded if we do! Anyone care to share any other method to get your kid to eat the medicine like a good boy?
