I always wish for good health any time, especially when we welcome the year 2024 but sad things happen to our family.
First, before the year 2023 ended I wasn't feeling well already after Christmas. I experienced some gas pain. I don't know the reason behind it since I stick to my diet even if there's a lot of food available.
I celebrated my birthday trying to feel better. A few days after Christmas I bought a local mammon from the local bakery in the public market. That mammon was my son's favorite so I decided to buy 14 pcs. I eat 3 pcs of them, while my son only eats 2 pcs and the rest was eaten by my daughter. They taste good that's why we enjoyed eating them.
However, around dawn time my daughter started to vomit and had an LBM. I, on the other hand, had a slight LBM. Aside from our lunch that day we only ate that mammon so we suspected that, that was the reason for our illness. Since my daughter was the one who ate more mammon she was the one who had been suffering nausea and LBM.
I decided to take her and my son with me at work so I could buy medicine and monitor her situation.
She didn't have the appetite to eat since she would just vomit after eating. I keep telling her to drink fluids to stay hydrated and eat small portions to have some energy.
I bought Elceflora for adults and kids. I had to make sure that my son was okay so I just let him drink the Elceflora since he had slight LBM early in the morning. I also bought some bananas(Tundan variety) and Gatorade. That combo of banana and Gatorade helps my LBM go away but not with the vomiting of my daughter. Her LBM was gone but she vomited now and then.
When we arrived from work my daughter was still weak and kept on vomiting. I am not that worried since I know it's a normal reaction to food poison I guess. I still let her eat small portions and drink more fluids until it made me realize to let him drink water with baking soda. Baking soda since I guess my daughter had an acid reflux too.
After drinking water with baking soda the vomiting stops.
I was happy to know that the baking soda helped to make my daughter feel better.
After that incident, my daughter was being careful about whatever she ate.
A few days before New Year my stomach wasn't feeling well I had this terrible gas pain. I wanted to fart it out but I can't, I can only burp to relieve the gas pain. The gas pain didn't go away until New Year. As I mentioned in my New Year Celebration-Mini Family Reunion article I wasn't feeling well. Son also had an on-and-off fever at that time.
When we arrived from the family gathering I started to have an LBM. It was a terrible LBM since I had to go back and forth to the comfort room now and then. I felt so tired that kept on coming back to the comfort room until I slept around 10 pm. I thought the LBM was gone but then I had to wake up around 12 am, 2 am, and 4 am to use the comfort room.
I didn't have a nice sleep that night because of my LBM.
Since we didn't have a water supply I had to force myself to fitch water to fill up the water storage of our comfort room.
Despite having an LBM I still had to go to work and was hopeful that the LBM would be gone.
I also tried drinking water with baking soda hoping that it would help get rid of the LBM.
I also drink Gatorade and eat some bananas.
Thankfully the LBM was gone that day. But the gas pain is still there. I was still suffering the pain of that gas in my stomach.
I was supposed to start processing the renewal of the business permit of my workplace but then I wasn't feeling well and I didn't have enough energy to keep on moving from one place to another place.
Luckily my daughter was still on Christmas break so I could still go to work and had her do my job so I could rest. As much as I wanted to process the papers for the business permit it would be more convenient for me to work on it so I don't have to take my son with me wherever I go but still, I choose to rest and relax.
The gas pain was gone. I thought everything would be okay not until I had a fever and body pain, especially from my head to my back and also my arms.
Honestly, I take care of myself and I don't want to get sick but I guess I overuse my body, especially my strength. I rarely get sick but when I get sick it will take time for me to heal. I had a fever from Wednesday last week until Sunday. My fever was on and off. I don't have a cough or cold only a fever.
I had to ask my mother-in-law to do a traditional massage or what we called hilot all over my body last Sunday afternoon. After relief and feeling better after having that traditional massage. Body pain is gone and also the fever.
Last Monday I still felt some headache yet it eventually went. I just really needed more time to rest but then I had no choice but to go to work and start processing the papers for the business permit.
For now, I am feeling well. I am a little worried about the cough of my son since it has phlegm on it. We plan to take him to his pedia. We decided to take him to his pedia to have a proper medication hoping that his cough would be healed.
I felt bad for my son who always had to take medicine now and then.
He is already been taking vitamin C and Zinc but he still gets sick every month.
Ending thoughts
I am a mom who always opts for home remedies that might help what we feel. But sometimes we need to seek proper medication from a doctor.
That's all for today's motherhood blog. Thank you for your time.
