(2015/01) Jan 2015 Mummies

My boy is only 2yr 7mth. I brought him to kkh coz I assume they have all the facilities eg. X-ray, blood test and can administer straight away if needed. If I brought him to his regular pd, will have to go else where to do these tests. No? He was hospitalize last dec for high fever and mild lung infection. Though since they have his record, I brought him bk to kkh.

i see ... probably that's why KKH is the first stop in your mind! PD will check and advice if he requires further tests...

dun noe leh... but my girl since young hates the patch... she will pull it off when younger... now older can reason out with her so the hard part is to take have it stick on her forehead first!

Yes but for persistent fever, you have to alternate the two fever medicine else each fever must have a gap of 6 hrs by then the 4th to 6th hour ... sponging may not be sufficient...

For me I will stick when he fall asleep Lolz but of course he will put it out lah but if can stick for 1hr is achievement

Boy have been on antibiotic since fri night. Temp is still at 39 now. Do u think I should send him to kk or to a pd today? Mummies, any advise?

My ger also ever high fever for 1-2 weeks up to 40+/-, went to PD but no recover till i went KKH. WEnt for blood test & x tray than realised is lung infection etc and also on anti bio for 1 week. Try to sponge ur kid whenever the temp is high. For my ger, once she took anti for 1st few day, her fever drop. Try to monitor if really still high fever, i will send them to KKH again to play safe.

Kkh some times u have to be firm n argue with them before they really do something to check on ur boy

When my boy was around 2 yr old. Same thing happen... 1st day bring him go they say too early ask me bring home monitor. .. 3rd day of fever we go again.. they still say too early.. n we argue with them before they do blood test.. n say might be bacterial infection. . Gave us antibiotics n send us home again...

On 5th day of fever finally rosela came out n it turn out to be viral infection. ...


Then another episode same thing but we went on 3rd n 5th day of fever n finally got admitted. . Coz we dun wan to talk with the newbie docs at a&e.. fed up talking to them. They keep having to discuss first before they can reply us as they are unsure what to do... so we stand there n argue n kpkb n they admit us so we can see a senior the next morning. ..

N the waiting hrs are a killer with the a&e so cramp...

My girl also uses water bag when having fever! We have a bigger one so we fill it up with ice water and let her sleep/lie on it...

Yes finally he allows because he just sign up basketball game with his friends to play on weekday night time. If he can go do it, means I can do the same too. I will try Sadhana Sanctuary first in September and will sign up full package in October if I like it.
Have you start your prenatal yoga class?

Sleep on it :0 secure or not
Wait the bed become wet
Click to expand...

oh yes secured ones with screw!.. but if you put ice water there's condensation and water droplets foam on the bag lor... what we do we use her towel to wrap around it so its not that wet!

same idea as sponging but at least the ice water can last cool for a few hours, i need not change the sponging so often

Yes I understand u! It's very difficult to talk to them. Last dec, he was admitted coz of refer letter and X-ray result (which they say wasn't that bad!) and he was below 2.

This time round I went too early, only 2nd day. So I guess they can't do much either. But coz the temp was at 40.6 and GP can't give med. Prefer us to go PD.

Ya cos due to the design of the pillow right, unless it's the other kind, the U shape one... doesn't matter if turn left or right. Okay I am going to get it soon!
Click to expand...

You can consider the theraline maternity pillow. I can still turn left and right with it because it works like a bloster. Except i can rest my belly on the curve. If i want to support my back then i just curve into a U. Ever since i got it, sleeping no longer feels uncomfortable.

Sometimes I also dread bringing the kids to kkh because I know most of the doctors are not professional enough. And the waiting time can be a killer. But like you the kids' records are there that's why I still go back thinking they are specialised in pediatric. I tried mount alvernia before but the doctors are worse. I wonder if there are any other alternatives when the PD is closed!
 
Yi Ping said:
I think night time is when the GPs are on duty @Mount Alvernia A&E..
Some PDs open at night but closes are 9pm i think..
Click to expand...

Yes. And the medication prescribed were those I had never seen before and didn't work. I will try to go to a PD if possible. But after midnight the choices are limited when there is an emergency.

Mount alvernia told me they can also call a PD in for me. But i have to pay an additional $300 to $600 on top of consultation and medication. Like very very ex leh!

I hope raffles hospital is less ex?

How about NUH? Anyone knows if they have PDs on standby?
 
Erm... *touch wood* I have no experience in getting my girl to a&e in KKH. I usually will bring my girl to PD first thing in the morning... I ever brought my girl to Parkway East Hospital for A&E, that time was long weekend and PD not available and her fever nvr subside after paracetomol... but PEH a &E dr is like a GP, give brufen and sent us home... So when should we bring our kiddo to KKH A&E at first instance...???

my girl will resist but you can play around with the amount of water/ice proportion such that its acceptable to her... i guess the patch is too sudden for their forehead?

So far my experience with kkh has not been positive. Usually for fevers, i feel we still can monitor. After all it's the body's way of fighting away a virus. Especially if the child still happy and active. The only time, touch wood touch wood,i brought my girl to kkh was due to a bad fall. And she required 6 stitches on her forehead. And my boy was due to dehydration from diarrhea. I don't know where else i would have sent them either. Lol
