Spotty Jaden

Jaden's fever subsided down to 36.7F. How'd I know? Well, he had another trip to the doctor this evening.

His body is sprouting out red spots from leg upwards. Then the hands, the area near the crotch, body is starting to show and the back too.. First thing came to my mind was is he having some measles attack? HFMD? So I decided to bring him back to his doctor for some confirmation and what to do next.

This time around, its another doctor who is on duty today. Dr. Chee... shes new to us but well, since we were there and these things can't wait so I went in showing her the spots on Jaden's body. After checking him, she said that his body is reacting to some viral infection and that since he is eating perfectly now, no vomitting, active and all, not sleeping the day away, not itching then there is nothing absolutely to be worried about. The spots will be more in days to come but it will prolly last 3-4 days before it subsides again.

Definitely not chicken pox as these spots don't have water balloon symptoms, not measles as measles will cause the eyes to be red and not HFMD as then, there will be ugly ulcers around. So *phew* for the mean time. o.Oh and not Denggi either because Denggi will only come affect after 3-4 days of fever and this spots appeared right on the second day of his fever so its prolly just his body reacting to the fever viral and well, just wait it out for a few more days, constantly feeding him his meds till his fever and sore throat subside. His throat is still somewhat swelling red but not as bad as yesterday's.

This trip to the doctor was FOC as there was no medicine given and only advice, which they counted as some immediate follow-up.. so YAY on that! One brownie point for Dr. Altaf's child clinic! =)
