Respiratory tract infection-3 infected, one still free

Ya, myself, HX and HE were all down with fever and cough and running nose, one after another, first me, then HX, then HE. I am not so worry about HE since she is already 3 and all this while she has been quite strong to withstand any cough or cold, normally she would have cough for 2-3 days then no more, without fever at all. However, this time also she end up with fever for nearly 2 days.
HX, on the other hand, make me worry more, since she is only 5 months old. I start to regret that I didn't make hygienic precaution like wearing masks or using alcohol handrubs. I thought HX should be protected by getting the antibody through breastfeeding. But it seem this virus is reall strong one (otherwise HE won't have fever). HX has a bad blocked nose wih occasional cough. She has fever only for one day, then no more for the next 2 days. However the fever returns again yesterday and couldn't settled by tepid sponging until she is fed paracetamol syrup. I am quite worry as I am concerned about supreimposing bacterial infection. If today there is anymore fever, I need to bring her to see doctor again especially to check her lung. Her blocked nose is so bad that she has to open her mouth to breath. When she is breastfed, she has to unlatch several times to catch some breath. Poor little baby. HX also becomes quite cranky and keeping requesting (by making pitiful sound) to be carried.
As in this time when I am typing, I thank God that HX fever has settled, today she has no fever, but blocked nose and cough are still bad, HE also has some mild running nose and occasional cough. Overall, it seems getting better though. I hope all this is getting over soon, as I am so exhausted, being sick and taking care of the sicked children. Thank God for hubby, the only healthy standing, has helped to take good care of us

HX also down with fever

I hope she get well soon. Quite worry as she is less than 6 month old. I myself still cough badly with itchy throat and running nose too.

Cough...cough...cough

Last thursday I had fever, followed by sore throat, then cough. I cough so badly till I lost my voice, or turn to hoarseness. It started with my husband then HE, then me, but my symptoms were the worst. Hubby and HE only cough once in a while, but I cough constantly. In the morning, I was able to produce some phlegm, which was green-yellowish, the rest of the day I was having dry cough.

For the past 2 nights, I was not able to sleep as I kept coughing. I could only describe my cough as " coughing my lung out" It could be quite forceful, and not quite be able to settle with lozenges nor warm water. Today, my tummy muscle was in pain when I cough.
I tried to avoid antibiotic, but I resort to it after seeing my phlegm was coloured. So I got throw away ( actually bath with it) all the breastmilk I pumped out during the 3 days antibiotic course. I seem to have improved after the antibiotic but my throat is still very itchy and my cough i still there. I hope this cough can go away soon :(
