腸胃感冒了 Gastroenteritis(Stomach flu)

While Angela has been keeping healthy and rarely got serious sickness, she had stomach flu with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea at school on Wednesday. Preschool teachers told Mommy that Angela showed tiredness in the morning and vomited after lunch. They advised that Mommy carefully watch Angela's health condition at home.

In the evening, Mommy saw Angela was upset about her sickness and kept asking Mommy to carry her. Angela also got slight fever after diarrhea and did not sleep well during the night.

On Thursday morning, Mommy took Angela to see a doctor at Taipei City Hospital -Branch for Women and Children and got some prescription. However, Angela still had diarrhea after taking the medicine, so Mommy went to see Chinese herbal doctor, seeking medical advice in the evening. Because of diarrhea, Angela lost 1 k.g. within two days. Daddy was so concerned about Angela's flu and inquired her condition by phone every day.

Angela took two days off school and rested at home. Thanks to grandma's care and Chinese herbal medicine, Angela gradually recovered from the flu on Friday and resumed regular diet on Sunday. Now, Mommy and Grandma are all glad to see active Angela again and hope that little Angela will gain more weight soon.
