Vai : More dots
Just a quick update.
Vai was feverish for 3 days starting last Monday, and this morning it’s all gone. Instead, red dots start to appear on his face, neck, chest and back. Looks a bit like rash.
Anya went through exactly the same symptoms when she’s about 11 months old, so frankly we’re not that worried about Vai’s condition. Based on what happened to Anya, more will come out before they start to slowly go away.
I know for sure it’s not measles though because when the rash appears, it’s not accompanied by fever. In fact, it’s when his fever is gone that these red dots start to appear.
[Some say this condition is called the ‘Fifth disease‘]
Anyway.
He’s cranky at times today. I guess it’s also because of the heat rash on his neck. Must’ve felt really uncomfortable.
[I apply some skin-rash-powder on him after his shower. Its cooling effect helps a bit, I hope]
Other than that (and a bit of cough, phlegm and runny nose), I can say he’s relatively back to his normal self.
Giggling. Smiling. Messing up Anya’s toys and our DVDs. And trying to munch on our magazines. Hehe.
