Baby Bronchiolitis
No... it's neither a dinosaur nor a new vegetable. Julian has been sick for about a week now. He started coughing on his baptism day last Saturday (15 September 2007). He then started having fever on Sunday for about 2-3 days which was brought under control with paracetamol syrup. To help loosen phlegm, his paediatrician prescribed Berodual via nebuliser.
We learnt that babies tend to sweat more when they are sick. Also, since they don't know how to spit out phlegm, they swallow it and this may make them pass motion more often and the stool tends to be a little slimy.
He is much better now. Still coughing occasionally. Hope he recovers fully soon.

Poor Julian...hope he's better now. Dunno if you're in the mood for a tag - let you guys decide ok?
Oh poor Julian but I have to say that his pout is rather cute. he seems very cooperative with the neb.
The sweat is usually due to paracetamol...so just don't mistake it as the baby is feeling hot. Hope he gets well soon.
Guess tis the season of coughs. I had to give neb to my Julian too last night.
