when ur kids sick

It's been a while since i post a review... my daughter got sick, my husband too, me also... so its been hectic around the house ><
Dont have time to even think about writing anything....
Soooo today im just going to share my experience on how to treat my daughter when she sicks, maybe dont apply to other kids.
Okay... so my daughter (2yrs old) suddenly got fever, hot body cold feet. she's very very active kid even when she got fever, but suddenly she just lethargic so this fever kinda worried me
Tried to temp her fever but she refused (once i succeed get her temp 38.8)
Im one of the parent who dont have faith in indonesian doctors coz everytime sick kid come they always always give an antibiotics. (I dont take her to a doctor)
I dont like chemicals medicine, let alone antibiotics...so at first i didnt give my daughter anything just i give her enough fluid/milk and fruits (apples)
But when i saw the temp hit 38.8 i started giving her paracetamol syrup buuuuut again she refused to drink it. Forced her to drink, not succeed, so i stopped give her the medicine
2nd attempt i tried to give a fever gel a.k.a bye bye fever etc etc but she threw it out...tried to stick it when she asleep failed too uurrrgggghh im desperate at that time....
So i just give her a lot of fluid and fruits and change her clothes with a thin one but i kept the pajamas pants, aircond on at 27C
Not too cold. Her fever going up and down (based on what i feel since she refused to get her temp).
So i started to massage her body with telon oil, and then i also give her tawon oil mix w/ adas oil etc etc (my dad made it) she started to get sweaty which is i believe thats a sign thats she gonna be fine... and thats true yeeeeeei ^^ she got her fever at sat morning and its down at sunday night.
Buuut it didnt stop there now come the cough and cold...i hate these 2, always come in pairs.
When it comes to cough and cold i gave her med becoz these 2 diseases can get very troublesome.
For cough w/phlegm i gave her mucopect, its a drop syrup can mix it with water, milk, juice, soup, etc (my daughter hates medicine so this one helps me alot)
There is a description paper that come with the med box but i guess i throw it out , for 2 years old or more you can give around 20drops 2 times a day, since my daughter never have med so i started with 5 drops then 7 then 10 max but i give it 3 times a day. The price is rp.52195. She's get better after use this med. Her phlegm cough decreased so she can eat and sleep peacefully

 And for the cold i didnt give her anything, i just give her this balm, just rub it on chest, neck and back 2-4 times a day. The price around rp45000 for 10gr. I like this balm becoz it didnt give sticky feeling like vicks vaporub. My daughter loved it. Helped her soothe her nose.
She's got cough and cold since wednesday, and now (sunday) she's a lot better no cough, no cold yeeeeei.....
So thats my exp with my sick daughter ( she almost never get sick, this is the 2nd time she's fot fever cough n cold) so im kinda lack of experience on how to treat sick kids.
Im just sharing on how i treat my daughter and the med i used. Not every kids same. So dont hesitate to consult w/ your pediatrician.

Love,
EB and gudluck ♡♡
