<font color="aa00aa">jelly, i have hives too leh. i am allergic to lots of things! Dust, drastic temperature changes (yes, i know it is weird!), nuts, etc.
The blood test I think may be more for her fever than rashes? 'Cos they need to check if she has any virus and the way to do it is thru blood test. Sometimes they will order urine test because they want to check if there is any urine infection esp for girls.
If it is for allergy, I would strongly encourage for you to hold the test till past 1 year old unless she keeps having it over and over again.
Cate went thru the blood test. Though they told me it is only a prick, wah biang, the way they squeezed the blood out to collect half a test tube? She wailed and screamed until like slaughter pig like that. Later the PD at KK told me actually there is no need to do it when the fever is still at such a stage like hers.
Just a tot lah.
Also my dear, yr BP page hor, is 1.52. Here you wrote 1.53 leh.
Rebec: low blood count not the same as lack of iron hor. I would know because I was severely anaemic when I was preggie with cate. If you do end up taking the iron tab, do not take milk within 2 hours or coffee/tea within 1 hour. Also, try to take Vit C as it aids iron adsorption. FYI lah.
Elch: Will PM you.
