I am sick sick sick.....

A quick update of what happen to me on end of April and beginning of May.

I was having slight fever on 29 April. Feed Boying Compound (EYS) but this time round the med doesn’t work on me. Daddy have to work OT because his machine is down on site. Mummy had to bring me to see doctor by herself. Doctor examined me and given me some Paracetamol and cough and flu syrup. After reaching home, mummy feed me paracetamol. After a while, daddy reached home.

On 30 April daytime, my temperature still never come down much. Mummy kept sponging me with water and my temperature only come down slightly. I was still quite active but kept on wanting mummy to be by my side. Then midnight, mummy measure my temperature and it was 40.2 deg. Mummy and Daddy feed me paracetamol and ½ hrs later, they took my temperature and it was 39.2deg.

On 1 May morning, after my milk, was given med again hoping my fever will subside but no no no, still at 39.5 deg. Without any delay, Daddy and Mummy brought me to KKH A&E. My temperature and heartbeat was measured. Then doctor give mummy paracetamol to feed me. It was different med that I was given from GP. It is orange in colour. Then doctor give mummy some cold pad and water to sponge my forehead. I kept on rejecting mummy to put the cold pad on my forehead. After staying there for 3hrs, my temperature finally manage to come down to 37.6 deg before we can go home. Just doesn’t know why after I came home, I had watery stool and body starts to have rashes all over. Mummy applied calamine lotion on my rashes.

For few days, keep on having watery stool till my bum was sore and painful whenever mummy bath me. I kept on refusing to bath and mummy had a hard time handling me. Everyday mummy had to wash my bum after I poo poo and I can poo at least 6 times. Mummy was tired too having to wash my bum so many times a day till 1 time, mummy slipped and fall which caused her knee orh-cheh. Lucky mummy never let go her hand when she fall because she was carrying me in her hand. My mood for these few days was really bad.

Daddy was worried about my watery stool and decided to bring to GP on 5 May. Doctor told daddy and mummy that I was teething that is why I have watery stool. Doctor prescribed some special cream for my bum to heal the soreness. This cream really healed my bum. Next morning, my bum heal a lot, almost completely heal. Mummy seeing my bum heal so fast, felt so relief.

My watery stool and rashes finally disappeared on 8 May and was back to my happy and active behavious
