Just got back from a local clinic..
Sadly yeah, Harris was infected with the HFM..Unfortunately, there were many little bumps on his limbs and also on his buttocks traced. The doctors confirmed that it was HFMD.. =( Poor thing is, well I know that he'll feel very uncomfortable for at least 3 days ahead.. Scratching and moaning will be his expected habit..Seriously, I had heard of HFMD, but had never imagined it would happen to my own kid.
Anyways..
The doctors provided 3 different medicines or should I say the remedies for my son? The doctor said that it was a kind of virus, so there's not too much we can do about it, other than keep the child comfortable. My definition of comfortable is to snuggle with my goose feather pillow and Harris at the same time..Hehe..No medication will shorten the duration of it, but your doctor has prescribed something that will help with the discomfort. I hope...
Well, I'll start from the left..Here are what the doctor has prescribed for Harris..a mouth spray to fight ulcers, calamine lotion to relief the itchiness and yeah, the last one is the painkiller..
My biggest concern is about Harris' appetite..It's pretty obvious now that he refuses to eat even when I coax him with his favorite food.. Tried to 'bribe' him with his favorite KFC but he only ate a few bites.. Just gave him the painkiller and he is asleep right now.Mak said that he ate his roti jagung and drink a cup of his Bliss yogurt.. Alhamdulillah.. It's better than nothing, isn't it?
and tonight I'm going to monitor his condition..By monitor I mean stopping him from scratching his limbs.. Poor Harris.. Get well soon baby mommy.. Lucky for us that he's only having a mild attack from this virus..Well compared to Umar (the carrier.Hehe), Harris is definitely the luckier one..
ps:Do you know that HFMD is a common disease nowadays? shish.... =/
