So it's fake measles

The red dots all over little Andrew's face and body did not appear to be subsiding. So off we go to the clinic. Today his paediatrician is back from vacation (Last Friday was a replacement Medical Examiner On duty) and the queue was long! We waited for a while and most sick kids came out crying! Hahaha! Except for the 2 young babies that was in and out of the clinic in 5 minutes - they are here probably for their development check up.

Anyway, doc confirmed that it's fake measles. He said it's not roseola- which I kept Googling and getting the same result of fake measles is roseola. Anyway, there is nothing we can do about it. It should disappear in 1-2 days. Oh and we should stop the antibiotic since it's viral, little Andrew won't be needing it. However his fever might spike another time before disappearing for good. And he still has inflamed throat n tonsil. So keeping in on paracetamol for another day is a good idea.

Doctor also realised the dry patch on little Andrew's face. He then prescribed us with a steroid cream. He said it's best to treat it once and forever with the cream instead of having it coming back on and off. So for this, he can apply for up to a week.

I asked about Andrew's teeth, doctor said he will not be requiring fluoride toothpaste at this stage for his milk teeth and our water is already treated with fluoride. And it's just milk teeth that will eventually fall off - hopefully not prematurely!!!

I'm checking on him the whole night making sure he is ok. Last night, he sure had a good sleep- from 9.30pm to the next morning 8am! And then this afternoon he did 3.5hours nap!!! Hmmm... he seems to be lethargic today, probably coz he is recovering from his fever. And tonight he slept 10.15pm. Let's hope he will sleep through to the morning!
