It seems that the word H1N1 is becoming one of the famous words in Malaysia nowadays. Even my 5 year old boy knows the word but he doesn't know the meaning of the word.
The pandemic outbreak of the infuenza virus started in Mexico earlier this year and now has spread to all the continents in the world. In Malaysia until today has 874 cases involving locally transmitted and imported cases. The WHO also reported that the total number of cases worldwide is now 133,755 cases with 760 deaths from 155 nation. That means the percentage of cases is about 0.6%.
Last week i got a bad flu but it is not H1N1 as i'm not in contact with anyone with possible H1N1. I was out the whole week. But i had to brave myself to go to work. After 1 week it became better but now my little Afiq got the infection from me and now has gotten sick.
He started with mild fever and vomiting. And now has progressed to cough and running nose. Last nite his chest is getting thighter due to the phlegm. After giving milk to him last night he vomited out the milk along with all the phlegm. I had to wash him up at 3am in the morning and also clean up the vomit. It's tiring after recovering from the flu myself but i pity the little fella. He must be feeling really awful and bodyache as he wants to cling on to me most of the time.
I need to start him on antibiotics this evening as the phlegm is turning yellowish. I really hate it when my kids get sick. I hope this episode of flu would settle quickly.
