BOY O BOY, SEE RASHES ON MY 'OYINBO' O

Hi there, guess who woke up on the right side of the bed? Momore started crying and disturbing while i was watching a movie around past 11 pm last night, and at the end of the 'episode', i couldn't continue with the movie. He had eaten few hours before he slept, his diaper was okay, so there was no logical reasoning as to why he was awake and crying. (His dad was busy laughing this whole time because my son has a funny way of crying, very low, people have commended this severally and told me how lucky i am.) He ended up sleeping on the bed with hubby and i, guess he doesn't know that "three is a crowd". I later discovered that his body temperature was a bit higher than normal, which could have been the cause for the fussiness last night.

I forgot to mention that the back pain i complained about yesterday is gone! Thanks to Diclofenac. I've been longing to see the movie "Iyore" for months now, and i was able to watch it yesterday at home with a friend, thanks to Iroko tv. Now back to my main topic for the day, Cold vs heat.

Momore has had this rashes on his upper part of his body (neck, chest and hands) for some days now and its so annoying. I must also mention that he's also coughing and sneezing too. I've been to the pharmacy to get a cough syrup (which i was apprehensive about getting) and the first day i gave him, he threw up afterwards. This my boy can throw up for Nigeria. If he doesn't like a food or is not in the mood for it and you force him, he throws up. My friends, this can be very frustrating. So i just dress him very warm, and use a nasal aspirator (see pic below) that i got from 'Ebay'. Aint nobody has time to be using her mouth to suck out the bugor/catarrh from his nose. I'm a 21st century mom, or an "internet mom" like my mom likes to call me. By the way, my mom is the funniest grand mom you'll ever meet, trust me. My good friends can attest to this fact. So my son hates this aspirator, in short, he hates anything touching his face, or nose, so you can imagine the 'World Wars' i fight every time its time to cleanup his nose after sneezing.

So pls mothers, and anyone that can help, which is better, keep him warm and risk more rashes but the cold disappears, or wear normal clothes and allow rashes disappear? I'm in a dilemma now. I have used 'Agnesia' powder, now i'm using 'Tribotan'. I all i want is for this horrible rashes to leave my boy. As at the time of composing this post, he was only wearing a singlet and his 'Huggies' diaper. 'Please, I can not come and kill my self', like people here in Lagos say. lol.

Pls kindly advice on this matter and i'm saying a big THANKS in advance.
