Allergic Reaction

We picked you up from school yesterday as we were nearby, picking up daddy's car. Then after your shower when we returned home, you came to my room and whispered "Mummy.. I am moonface again.. ssshhh... don't tell daddy". So I opened the Tiger Balm and turned on the room light to have a better look and got a shock of my life.. it wasn't just on your chin, you had an allergy breakout on your chin area as well as your forehead. 

Later that evening, I realised that the rash had spread to the back of your body. Had to tell daddy and see what he thinks. He said to give you the antihistamine which Dr Mary had prescribed last time before we went to Perhentian. It was just half of the tiniest tablet. Took you a while to eat it, but certainly faster than the antibiotics!

This morning, you looked better and I gave you another half to eat.

In the evening, I received a missed call on Messenger and later saw this message:

We went home to discover your whole face was swollen. Called the hospital to check on the doctor available for night clinic as well as doctor on call in ER. Found that we wanted to see the doctor on call, so we ate dinner, showered then headed to the ER. Took a while before it was our turn to see Dr Khaw. 

He asked a few questions, checked your body and concluded that it was an allergic reaction as there were no blisters on your rash.. *phew*

He prescribed some medication, including something for what he deemed to be a prolonged sinusitis and then said that you should take a jab for the allergy. Then he left. The nurse came later to give you a jab which she said could be either given on the thigh or buttock. You opted to have it on your thigh. 

All done and then it was time to pay and wait a little for the nurse to come explain on how to take the medicines. 

Went home to give you the medicine (1 extra now on top of the antihistamine) which took a little longer and some scolding from daddy while I was in your room getting your clothes for school the next day. Then you went straight to sleep.

*By the way.. you cried when daddy said that you need not go to school tomorrow if your allergy did not clear.. It's Children's Day celebration and you were looking forward to the event
