Virus & virus & virus wins!

So sad, ever since Rayden turned 2, he been having running nose & cough.. Finally got well around 17th Nov.
Then on 24th Nov, we went United Sq's Vienna for dinner, and shopped at ToyRUs, it was fun and enjoyable, but alas..came Tues...
25th Nov (Tues) came his high fever, gave me a bad shock..went to see PD, on fever medication. The fever lasts about 5 days with on-off fever.. Then while the fever is gettg cleared, came the bad diarrhoea on 27th Thurs, vomitted his milk and bad appetite..He very sleepy the whole day and were very tired-looking.
On Fri, he din got better but WORSE, i found blood streaks in his watery poo.. Freaked me out! After hubby came back from his roadmarch, we rushed to KK hospital around 10pm.
Spent $80+ there, took a blood test, Rayden cried like crazy, coz need to squeeze his blood out from his tiny fingers [ half a small test tube =( ]. Gave only the strengthening immunity medicine that Rayden already have been taking. It was a, i think Mymmar or Fillipino lady doc, i can hardly understand wat she said. I askd why the blood streaks, she only say it's viral attacks.
Still watery poo but blood streaks seem to lessen.
Brought Rayden to his usual PD today (2Dec), spent $50+ but finally I feel much better. Dr Teo explained why the blood streaks and listen carefully and gave more medications and asked us to stop milk & all dairy products (The KK doc said i could continue to gv when i asked her).I would trust my PD more in this case.


Things to note when baby's having diarrhoea & vomit:

Monitor weight loss
Dilute milk but if with vomit (stop milk)
Provide plenty of water (rice water, barley water is recommended)
Give Pedilyte to replenish nurients
Give frequent but less qty sollid feeds (if child reject, it's fine)
Avoid diary based product (if frequent vomit & bad diarrhoea)

hope he got better within 3 days..spare Rayden the agony please..
