Yesterday was your 4th day of HFMD since Sunday. I remembered on Sunday, you still manage to eat a bit of noodles. But unlike usual, you just had 2 spoons. I guess that's about when your ulcers starting to hurt you more. So, we can count that as your first day of getting HFMD.
Mag got slight sore throat too. On Tuesday, Uncle Adam took her to Dr. Ting and was given Zovirax. Dr. TIng said that this medicine will cure her ulcers in 3 days. SO, I called Dr. Chan to ask about this medicine and also to ask him about your purging. You purged a little bit in your pants yesterday morning. So, I'm not sure if it was normal or not. However, Dr. Chan confirmed that there's nothing to worry about unless you purge alot for 4-5 times a day & as long as you urinate like normal, you're fine. He also asked to check the colour of your urine. If it's very yellowish, it's a sign of dehydration. But so far, your urine looks fine according to Granny & Kakak Yani. Dr. Chan said Zovirax is a very strong medicine which he only plans to give you on your 6th day if you still hasn't recover. I asked if i can start giving you zovirax as I can't bear to see you suffer anymore. He insisted that I wait till Friday. FYI, daddy & i didn't like Dr. TIng so much as he always give super strong medication. Like daddy said, what if 1 day this super strong medicine cannot cure you, by then Dr. will need to prescribe you with another stronger medicine which is harmful to your organs. Unless we can't get Dr. Chan or Dr. Cheok, we'll go for Dr. Ting..or maybe we won't.
Fyi, after we seen Dr. Chan on Monday evening, Mommy took you to Dr. Cheok on Tuesday for 2nd opinion & I wanted to ask for Cataflem. You've used Cataflem before and it works well to numb your mouth so that you won't feel so painful. It also has a little bit of Brufen content for fever & it works as painkiller. Dr said if you're taking Cataflem, you don't have to take Brufen anymore. Otherwise, I'll be overdosing you with Brufen. That was a good advice and i get to know more about medicine.
Daddy boiled vege soup "su chai tang" for you on Monday. It helps your recovery too.
Today you seems better. Few of your ulcers already disappear. Yesterday, i notice your red dots on your buttocks were drying up and some have disappeared. I'm so glad that you're recovering. Thank God.
