pink: i think that sounds reasonable enough. u cld also tell her that u dun like her to compare because that's not a good way to request.
RR: how's ur fren son?

pax:thanks.. ya. i praying for him to et better.. plus my mother.. then life can get back to normal! haiz
today brought teng to dr ong again.. coz medicine finsihing.. and his nose still blocked.. dr ong said.. shdn't be kawasaki disease after looking at his finger tips and toes.. thank god! fever as of 8am (after the panadol).. is stil clear (no 38.1 by ear) till now. but i kiasu.. one last dose at 8pm today and monitor till tomorrow 8am. if no have, means no have!yey! *praying v hard*
BUT his nose is super blocked.. dr ong said he could have caught a secondary infection hence nose still so blocked.. normally one round of nose drops wld clear. now he needs nasonex (steriod nose drops), plus another round of otrivin plus a stronger anti-histamine.. omg.. haiz.. and i thought i heard dr ong said he cld have caught the flu .. and somemore i thought i heard her say h1n1?!.. hmm.. then she said.. 'but he's well...'.. wah. blurred. anyway. if this is indeed h1n1.. then all of us immune liao wor!..
huingee/QQ: wah. if teng's fever till 39. i think i freaked out liao! v high wor! kudos to the two of u for being so calm abt it :S
dr ong laughed when she saw me and asked me any more fever.. then i just smiled back and said.. according to the ear thermometer. .no more!.. ha.. then i said 'but his lips very red lei'.. she replied ' this one not red enough..' then i said .. 'ya.. the kawasaki one is v red'.. she smiled.. 'got read up huh?'.. 'ya i did'.. she said.. 'ya i know u wld.. hence i told u the name of the disease'.. that't it liao..she recognises me as thekancheong spider liao
AA: dr ong did say to me on monday.. that dun confuse swollen lymph nodes as mumps. they are not the same.. i guess mumps more on the cheek areas.. and lympn nodes for teng is on the neck, nearer the base of the chin, right at the back.. swollen lymph nodes happen due to an infection. while mumps itself is an infection?.. erm.. i not sure..
mejo: actually slight swelling of lymph nodes is apparently quite common following infection in young children. but if it is more than 1cm.. then it shd be brought to the notice of the doctor. also if the area of around the swollen lymph nodes is red, the child screams painful when touched.. plus fever which wun go away.. then likely there is an abecess there liao. needs surgery to drain it away..
kawasaki disease.. needs a persistent fever which wun go away, and at least three criterions met. two of which is the swollen lymph nodes of at least 1.5cm and peeling on fingers and toes..the lips would also be super red and dry and cracked.. take a look at the little boy in the link below?? that kind of scarlet red...

miser when i told/updated him abt this kawasaki disease assured me that teng doesn'thave this .. coz i told him kawasaki disease is partly genetic, partly environmental.. both of us dun have this..actually before i conceive.. i wanted to do that kind of blood tests which will tell us if any one of us is a carrier of any diseases.. but never get around to doing that. then for teng and also yh's pregs.. i keep thinking if they will have any abnormalities.. heh.
