No More Sweets

I noticed Vin always trying to clear his throat several times during the day .. it was kind of odd. I asked him why he was doing it and he said because he could not breathe well. Yesterday i brought him to the doctor to have him checked. His doctor checked his ear .. clear. His lungs ... clear and not hard of breathing. They asked him to open his mouth and they saw his tonsils a little red ... which she said could be the onset of tonsilitis .. though not yet. She also found some lymph nodes on Vin's neck which also showed that his body was fighting off an infection. She was surprised to learn that Vin did not have any fever which normally happens.

She started Vin with antibiotics to combat the infection, it will last for seven days. On the fourth day we are scheduled to go and see her again so she can check on Vin if there is progress with the medicine she prescribed. She also presecribed Vin some nutritional supplements aside from the separate vitamin C he is taking daily.

She also asked Vin to stay clear of sweets and cold juices for now. I let her tell VBin herself so Vin would really be involved in the treatment. I am happy that we were able to see her before he gets the full blown tonsilitis ... never really bad to be safe than sorry.

It has only been day 2 of the antibiotic so i still hear Vin clear his throat from time to time.
