Joo was not well the past week. She had fever on Wednesday (38.5) and vomitted. Mil blamed Fil for 'dipping' her too long in the pool over the weekend....
I rushed back from office and brought her to see pead. We got a very 'cold' pead (no interaction with kids at all) who just gave her normal pink liquid and charged me (well, charged my company) RM65 for it. However, her fever was still on and off the whole evening.
Next day, I took half day coz it was Mil's check up day. Slept with Joo till 9am and she was cranky and cried. Still slight fever (37.6)....after drinking milk, she vomitted again. Got panic and rushed back to DSH...This time, we looked for Dr Azizi. Medicine obviously the same but he was very patient and gentle. He gave a 3-day antibiotic coz Joo's throat was infected already.....Bill was RM120!
Joo was well and active again on Friday....I sent Mil off to pudu and Joo stayed with mommy again in the office from 5-8pm till daddy came and pick us up for dinner. At night, fever came back again.... Struggled with another round of medicine....
Saturday, we had breakfast and lunch and 3 of us slept thru the whole afternoon. She couldn't eat fried or oily food so we decided Japanese! Joo's appetite was good and she took 6 little cucumber sushi in a roll! she loves Jap food i.e seaweed, soba and handroll....
We shopped in the Curve and reached home at 10.30pm. Another tragic incident happened! We found big red patch at the back of her tigh! It was not like rashes but more of blood clot patches. She has rashes (like 'fong-mok') the day before and now it's at the exact place. We took her to a 24-hr clinic nearby and doctor also could tell what it was. I suspect it was food allergy but it was not the first time she took Japanese + seaweed. Maybe it's the juice of raw fish?
Now, Mil is back and seems that Joo has running nose and phlegm pulak....aiyo, this girl, have all sickness at one go!

I hope she recovered. Emily also having flu but she is recovering. When Emily was sick, she likes to stick to me.
Wow, your paed very expensive. Here is only RM20 for consultation and the rest is medication.
michelle
Jaz, she's active again. Red patch also subside already. But till today I dunno what's the cause. Maybe I'll check with Pead next time....
mich, if klinik kanak-kanak then can get around RM25-50 still. But this is pead inside Damansara Specialist. So, the consultation fee already RM60 (like gynea), admin fee of RM1 or RM5 like that...plus medicine leh....
If it's not covered by company, I'll not go lah...very costly.
I heard Gleaneagles is even more expensive....
So kasihan little Joo, how is she now?
I don't like those doctors simply prescribe antibiotic, but if sore throat then no choice have to take it. Some doctor will prescribe antibiotic for normal fever, i hate this sort of doctor.
