Her whole body is covered with rashes. Scared the hell out of us. I quickly made a recall of what i have feed her for the past few days but all the foods i had been feeding her hundred times and she is not allergic to any of them. Hub fed her Zrytec (antihistamine medication) after she took her milk. This morning, we checked her body again, the rashes is getting worse. So we brought her to see paed. To our surprise, there are so many patients in children's clinic today. Hub even met a few of his school mates and old colleges, whose their kids also sick. But "luckily", a nurse made a mistake and skip off a few patients and called Xinyi name first so we didn't really have to wait for long.
After paed checked on Xinyi, he said that this might be Roseola. It's a viral illness that marked as a few days of high fever then followed by the rashes after the fever subside. Paed also mentioned that the rashes is not itchy which is true cos i didn't see Xinyi scratch any part of her body. No medication needed, the rashes will go away in a few days time.
So finally we know, it's the Roseola....... Phew.. me and hub feel glad that this is not measle.
