This week is a pretty tiring week for me. Aiman develop fever last Friday. In the morning, after I went to see doctor for my pregnancy, I went to office for a while before going back to the house and bring Aiman to see doctor. Since it is almost 5.30pm I decided to bring Aiman to a nearby clinic in SS2 instead of his usual paediatrician in Aman Puri, Kepong. The doctor diagnose him as normal fever however told me to come again the next morning for blood test should the fever persist. His body temperature doesn't go down at all. The whole night I have to sponge him and even after giving him Priteron suppository his body is still warm. I cant even sleep... the next morning I went bring him to see the doc as told. No queue for me luckily...after went in , the doctor check and told me that it is not dengue as he suspected, however when checking his mouth i can see that it is full with white pacthes. It is like having blister all around your mouth.I asked the doctor what is wrong and he is like fumbling with the answer. He was googling the computer in front of him and flipping through the reference book looking for the right medicine. Looking at that situation, I don't feel convinced at all with whetever the doc says afterwards. Coming out from his room, i straight away called Aiman's normal pead to reserve an appoinment. Luckily the clinic is still open. After making the payment, I drive straight to kepong. We reach the clinic about half hour later and hav to wait for almost 1 and half hours.
The moment we step to see Dr Chin and him seeing Aiman's mouth, he told me that he has actually contracted HFM. ( reference:HFM) . He prescribe antivirus and some mouth spray to soothe the pain.
Told me that I should separate him from the brother and also gave him one week MC. I was afraid about this type of fever but also relieve as Dc told me that this is normal for kids of his age.
Today Danial's also contracted HFM therefore just to be safe, I bring both of them to Dr Chin again. No need MC for Danial as he only goes to kindy. Doc prescribe with the same medicine and told Danial that he need to rest more and drink lots and lots of water. I hope both of them are strong to deal with this. So far both of them is okay, though feel so much pain in the mouth , they try to drink as much water as possible. They somehow refuse to eat anything solid as it is painful even feeding porridge is very difficult.
Recover soon my dearest boys...mummy loves you so much...Muahhhhh...
Kesian...1 - anak2, 2 - mommy.
