Down with HFMD

Adel was being sent home on Tuesday when Teacher Alice spotted some ulcers in her mouth.

I asked MIL to bring her to the clinic but she was not diagnose with HFMD. She was unclear of the diagnose of the doctor thus I decided to bring her back for review the next day.

The very next day we went back to the clinic for review.
This time round I brought Kennzo along as blisters were seen on his palms and his bum has a number of rashes appearing. He was a confirmed HFMD case and Adel was found to have more ulcers in her mouth. Both kids were declared to be confined at home for one week.

Adel was far too active to be a HFMD case and so far no blisters or rashes over the palm or leg area. She had no issue with her diet as well.

Kennzo's rashes turned into blisters and he really had a hard time. He was very cranky since he was also teething at the same time. He did not has a good appetite and I tried to coax him into eating. All I can give was chilled EBM or latched. I tried to give him Nestle vanilla ice cream for lunch earlier on as he refused his porridge even though it was cool. All my poor boy could do was to drool and cry his lungs out.
