diagnosis done

Diagnosis: Roseola Infantum

kj was infected with the viral on 20th dec 2010. the symptoms were very distinctive. he had high fever 38-39 celcius for 3 days and when fever subsided, he had rashes. there is nothing u can do except by giving paracetamol for fever.

we gave him 3 doses of sy ees then that was it. :( hope there wont be any future problem with this.

he is all well now. not cranky at night. sleep through the night. only waking up at about 5-yish morning for a feed. he would go to bed at about 8.30pm.

however, he has phlegm and runny nose. he hates it when i try to clean his snot! yet i couldnt stand the sight of the booger! ugh! i try to dig with the aid of a cotton bud!
so sometimes when u hear him wails, it could mean digging-time! :)

photo session!

daddy's taking temperature, almost every half-hourly

aww

thermometer under the armpit
39.2 is not the highest

he seems to like the taste of the syrup initially
wasnt tolerating after that
hence we diluted it with water
he loves water, phew
we tried to check if he still wants to play
a sick child would not want to
but hey! kayjay chased after the rubber ball!
that was a good sign
that tells us his condition somehow

side track a little, arent the diaper cute?;)

tepid sponging
never soak the cloth with cold water
could cause blood constriction, a friend(pd specialist) warned me

wearing a helmet?
:)

the manifestation were straightfoward
after 3 days of fever,
rashes appeared

ops, that was him being nursed directly
im being open:p
im a health professional cmon!
*laughs*
and i really advocate breastfeeding
naturally, kayjay wants to be nursed and comforted constantly

the rashes when they started to appear
pinkish small raised dots

gets patchy around the neck

anguish red all over the back

this was 12 hours later

it is post-4-5 days now?
there are still little colourless raised rash over here and there, face even,
but evidently, he is less clingy,
do not cry anymore,
laughs when excited

because we thought he became a cry baby after coming back from peninsular
we were wrong, sorry darling for the accusation

also, just for extra knowledge,
babysis diagnose the rash as "chu (keluar) ma(horse)" in mandarin, translated literally
my mom didnt know what it was
then only we found out it is "chut (keluar) piak" in hokkien
campak in malay
chu ma is hakka
