We tried the guava leaves young shoots but it seems to have given only temporary relief.
We just arrived from our favorite emergency room at the Cardinal Santos Hospital. We were unfortunate this time that the resident doctor was wrestling the whole hour with trying to put on the needle on an infant for dextrose use.
The only good thing we learned from the ER was when their anal probe of our 3 year old resulted in a theory that there were a couple of stuck things in his colon.
There was a request for a CBC and an ultrasound but my boy has to fast for 8 hours. So we passed on this and will probably do it the next day if we still need to.
For now our leading theory is this:
The coconut milk aka “gata” caused the parasites in his intestines to be agitated and head out the door. Unfortunately, they got stuck in his colon. So the they are causing gas pains… colic! My wife attests to her personal experiences with colics that can last for a week.
Our new strategy:
Give salabat aka fresh ginger tea to our 3 year old boy to address colic. Zapper sessions 7-20-7-20-7 for the parasites. Then give Dr. Tam’s miracle tea before going to bed. The dosage for a 3 year old boy is 2 tablespoons.
Hopefully in the morning our boy will have pooped his troubles away.
