Bad start to the year

One night you don't stop crying, and in the day you're irritable and drooling, you're clingy and you don't want to eat or drink much. We go day by day giving paracetamol and ibuprofen and teetha sachets as needed as you do spike some temperatures from time to time At this point we believe that you are teething, as you still only have your two teeth.

A few days go by and I even take you swimming on Thursday as you seemed better. But had to take you to the docs on Friday.

Unfortunately the GP surgery were at is a drop in clinic every morning. We arrive there at 9.20am and we don't get seen until 11am!! I couldn't believe it, you obviously were ill and heavy breathing and clingy there. You bawled your eyes out once there because a man sneezed but other than that you tried to sleep. It was a very busy morning there, but the other people would have been very angry if you would have continued to cry even though there was a good reason why we were there. I think people forget that sometimes and expect complete silence.

He said you had an ear infection and a little throat infection also so he prescribed for you Amoxicillin. It worked a treat and after two to three days you were back to your old self.
