Down with Heat Rash

Wajah dahulu yang ayu dan licin..

10 days ago, we brought our lil baby to see Dr Anthony @PC because of the sudden outbreak (read:nanah) out of her head.

Yesterday, Ibu was unable to take care of her due to tertelan tulang ikan and was rushed to GH because she cannot remove it manually. The tulang is huge! So Mummy has took EL and guling2 with my baby. Mid-day, I realized that the rashes which have migrated to both her ears have worsen and emitted more fluid (clear liquid + nanah). And her small fingers keeeeep on garu the ears then to her eyes and other part of her face. UWAAA..suddenly her whole face became reddish and it's clear that all the bacteria has found new home, her face! She became very cranky, refuse to take her porridge and only want to nurse. Mummy jadik kalutz and called PC and arranged another appointment with her Paed. Since I've never ever travel with her just the 2 of us together, I'm not quite confident to drive with her strap in car seat. She was so moody and itchy and fussy and all other words synonym with cranky so I decided to take a cab instead. Plus PC isn't that far from home.

Doc Anthony was so shocked to see the new settlement of the bacteria. He said, "Ok, why not we warded her here?" Erk, Doctor, I dont have anymore annual leave (0.5 day left for this year) available plus my hubby is not around. "Jika suami tiada lagi senang bukan duduk ward?" (this doc is from Sabah and very funny, read his line with Sabah-an intonation) Erk, No. Why don't we try other alternative?

From what I understood, if hnyB is warded, she then will be injected with series of antibiotics. I know the nurses are super-competent and they can look after her very well and keep her clean and cool at all the time. Major issue is, our little family is not in favor with antibiotics. If we keep her at home, we are free to make our own decisions. And if there are other ways to kill the bacteria, by all means, we'll go for that first before letting her body contaminated. No offense to doctors and doctors-in-the-making (Epoi :-) eh. I agree with many things in allopathic medicine except for few-I-don't-want-to-list-down things. So we are using the cream suggested by Dr Anthony and give her homeopathy remedy formulated by Ayah. Shafakillah Nadirah. Mummy Abi doakan nadirah cepat sihat. Jangan garu2 sangat tau sayangg..

Get well soon deary..
