Hi all,

DD has come down with her first cold. She is really miserable, snuffly and sneezy. She is throwing up after I give her baby panadol (Terry White brand, infant drops).
I don't know whether to keep giving her the panadol or try to find a different brand. I'm in Vietnam, have no idea what's available here. I also don't know how much to dose her because she would have absorbed a little before ejecting panadol-scented yoghurt. Any advice? I'm sure It's only a cold. I really don't want to get a taxi into town to see a doctor (US$65) to be told it's only a cold.

Poppy and I are both having a pretty terrible day. We have house guests, one of whom is locked in the spare room with some dramatic malady. We have a construction site across the road and for some reason half the population has decided today is the day when they must call and/or ring the doorbell.
