Unexpectedly, my nephew De Ren is down with the HFMD, Fen called to inform us of it. Telling me to keep a look-out for En En palms, feet and body. But because we stayed at my mum's place so i think there's not much of virus to be found there and i quickly bath her so En En was fine for 2days till she returned home. The very first thing i do is let En En go to bed, clean to detox and disinfect the whole house and every little small object that En En might come into contact with. Soak all her toys and cleanse everything twice, really tiring but for the sake of my En En to minimise the chance of contrcating is this. CNY DAY 5 the HFMD breakout on En En. Having seen some spots and she complaining that her mouth is painful, i brought her to Dr Neo to confirm. It was partly because the adults played mahjong at Fen's place knowing the kids are down with HFMD and return home with the virus (virus carrier). Though the adults are fine going to and fro but don't you realise that you're carrying the virus?? Because like what the doctor also mentioned was "the 2days she was fine was because there's not much of the virus at the place she in" If im selfish and inconsiderate, i think there are many things that i can do, i can say, i can choose at that point of time... Really afraid Maya would get it, i quickly sms Ling to inform her.
I think because of the tiring things i have done for En En and i think it works... The HFMD was not as bad as my 2 nephews.. Theirs was really bad but not as worst as the ones my cousins and i had before. And i made cooling herbal tea for En En everyday. Chinese medical says when ulcers breakout, its because of heatiness. So i dealt with the mouth ulcer first so she could at least have her meals properly. I used the watermelon frost(a powder spray) that really work on her, as she prefer chinese medicine. Also the western medicine only helps to numb the pain so the child could eat and drink as normal but doesn't healp in healing so i tried that. I BELIEVE BREASTMILK HELPS ALOT TOO!!! Doctor told me to continue breastfeeding if she is fine with it because to a certain extend, my nephews reject their food and drinks that 1 of them had to be on drip. Poor thing~! Luckily im still breastfeeding, if not what will happen to my En En . Thank God for my stubborness !!
Went online and did some research that ONLY Singapore has this HFMD not sure of the reasons behing thou. But healing should be 5-7days . Bathe En En and clean her frequently with the dettol solution (dettol and water) -helps disinfect everything she fully recovered in 5days.
