The reason for my inactivity

What’s up beautiful humans? It’s been 3 or 4 days since the last time I visited this site. No matter how much I would like to stay active I know I can’t. On my last article I mentioned about not getting well during our new year’s celebration. The next day after, I was still not feeling well. My colds and headache got a little worst. So I prefer resting for the rest of the days and that includes not opening my account here. Though I still update on my noise account but only limited to one or two posts a day. My interactions there were very seldom too as I am focusing on my wellness. I needed to recovered quickly because online classes is going to resume in the next day.

I am taking an over the counter medicine for colds and headache, however the symptoms are not getting clear, therefore I decided to drink medicine for flu. It worked because after drinking it, my feverish body began to subside and my energy came back. We’re supposed to go out with family on Sunday but I refuse to come with them. And just prefer staying at home to recover more.

Then on Monday, when I woke up I am feeling much better than the other days. I am well prepared for the chores that is waiting for me most specially my laundry. My youngest son began his online class while I went out to buy what to cook for lunch that day. When I got back home, my oldest son is covering himself a blanket, I asked him what happened and when I hold him he is a little hot. He said he has headache, I got the thermometer and checked his body temperature. I told him to rest and let him drink some paracetamol so that his fever will subside. He wasn’t able to take his online class because of that.

I was able to attend to my laundry and finished half of it because I was a little worried for my son. I have to checked his body temperature every now and then. He was feeling a little weaker too but I am glad he was still eating and drinks a lot of water whenever I asked him. I continue to give him paracetamol every 6 hours and massage his body parts with ointment to lessen his body ache.

I am positive that it will only last for a day, but the next morning his fever continues. He wasn’t able to attend the second day of class because of that again. He started to vomit that day too. After vomiting, he feels weaker, so I told him to better rest. It seems that paracetamol isn’t working on him too, so I let him drink flu medicine instead. After that, his body temperature goes down. And then I sleep a little relax during that night because he is not too hot, unlike the past night where I can’t sleep.

Honestly, during pre pandemic times, whenever my sons got fever for one day, I would bring them to the hospital for further check up to rule out dengue fever, but these days it was kinda hard. Even setting an appointment with the doctor is quite hard. I have to rely on the net to look out for the symptoms that might related to dengue. Covid symptoms is another issue. I have watched the video of Dr. Ong that Omicron variant is very near the flu symptoms. I’d like to assume that we maybe got the virus but I am in denial as well. However, I told my kids to stay at home as much as possible.

As of this moment, thank God my eldest son is no longer sick. His fever is gone and very much better than yesterday. At least I can now write an article here without being worried. I just hope he will completely get well for the next couple of days and hopefully my youngest will not get sick.

Closing Remarks

God is truly great because the time my eldest son got sick I was already healed. Honestly if both of us were sick at the same time, I might not know what to do. Maybe up until now we are still sick, and my youngest might be infected too. Right now, too many people are not feeling better. I don’t want to comment about the virus because I have this feeling that we are into early 2020 situation all over again. I hope it’s not. Let’s pray for the healing of everyone infected with the latest variant. I know this too shall pass. And please don’t forget to follow the healthy measures and let’s improve our immune system too, by eating healthy foods, exercise and taking up vitamins. Take Care everyone and be safe.
