During the consultation with Doctor on Monday, she took the H1N1 test since doctor examined that her throat is swollen. Luckily the result is negative. So gave her antibiotic and fever medicines again. She sleep well at night through until morning. Today, FIL said she is very not feeling well but yet she do not know how to speak yet. Keep pointing on her mouth and cry so much during day time. Never seen her like this before. And she willing ask for water when her throat is pain. So evening, brought her to consult doctor again.
