We came back from new Zealand. The aircon on the plane, heat here, changing weather in NZ, cyclone season with mighty winds – something got my baby. Runny nose and heavy wet cough made me actually run to the doctor. The local Fijian lady doctor said nothing seems to be on her chest but if I want antibiotics she can give me – very reassuring.  no of course i don’t want my baby to be on antibiotics but similarly if there is a real need for it then I wouldn’t want to be deciding about it.  on the plus side though the doctor Knew quite a bit about traditional medicine so for the next two nights we had to cope with a baby stinking of onion compress around her neck and garlic under her feet. Worked – after some onion cough syrup she is totally ok now
