We were deeply scared about Ryle last Monday. At first we thought he is just having an ordinary cough and cold or his mild asthma again. But last Monday, his coughs started to sound differently. It's much like a squealing seal. When I talk to him, he doesn't want to answer, he just kept on crying and hugging. We immediately put him on nebulizer and rush him to his pediatrician who has open clinic that time, luckily. Upon hearing his cough, I know that the doctor is alarmed as well. She told us, it's good that we were able to check on him immediately because she diagnosed it as Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis otherwise known as croup. If it has gone worse she said, she will immediately admit him to a hospital. It is because his airways could be inflamed due to infection and he will have difficulty of breathing. We were just felt relieve when he responded well on antibiotics. We made a second visit yesterday to the doctor and she said that Ryle is much better now. Thank God.
