A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When we brought Baby C for an ultrasound scan 2 months ago, the radiologist saw something that looked like a Duplex system on Baby C’s right urinary tract system. From what I understand, a Duplex system means a double ureter. On Friday when we were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic, our doctor suggested another ultrasound…
Strawberries is one of the fruits that Baby C loves the most. It must be the strong fragrance and the sweetness. So I’ve now used strawberries as treats for her to eat with her daily antibiotics. I know strawberries should best be introduced to babies after 12 months to prevent allergies. What I did was first…
Despite being on antibiotics (Augmentin) twice a day since yesterday, Sherilyn’s fever is still not going down. Her temperature has been hovering between 38 – 39.7 degrees Celsius since yesterday. Today, I have given her 2 Volren suppositories. Whenever the temp shoots up, Sher would tell me that she’s cold and she would shiver. She is having…
It just came all of a sudden yesterday. Either I got bitten by the same bug that bit Sherilyn or Sherilyn got bitten by my flu bug. My nose is now blocked, I can’t smell no nothing and my throat is painful. At the onset of the stuffy nose, I quickly popped some Esberitox N…
I discovered by chance that the Rosken Dry Skin Cream worked on Baby C’s eczema. Baby C has been having patches of red, sore and peeling skin on her cheeks and chin on and off. She also had eczema on her legs, which caused her itchiness. It was exacerbated by cow’s milk (in her cereal), which I had…
I sent Baby C’s pee to the hospital for another urine FEME and C&S test today. It’s the second urine test done in a week. The urine test has to be carried out this time to see if the bacteria is still in her urine, after being treated with a new oral antibiotics (Bactrim) for twice a…
The other day, I bought a tub of Arla soft cheese with yoghurt. It’s the first time I’d seen a cheese spread that comes with yoghurt. This cheese spread is very light, has no preservative, low in sodium and tastes great. I’ve been eating it almost everyday with my toasts. That’s my breakfast yesterday :…
After given wrong dosage of antibiotics twice by the pharmacists from 2 private hospitals recently, my advise to everyone is that it’s best to double check with your paed after you have received the meds from the pharmacy in the hospital. First incident – a very well-known private hospital in Ipoh My paed told me…
After feeding Baby C with a new antibiotics yesterday, her pee doesn’t smell foul anymore today. She has also stopped purging and her labia is not red and sore anymore. Well, it’s actually not a new antibiotics for baby coz she had taken this antibiotics previously. For Baby C’s case, since she gets bacteria in her pee…
I’ve heard about the BRAT diet for vomiting toddlers but I can’t remember what they are. When Sherilyn vomited 5 times several days ago after she overate some ramen and udon noodles at the Japanese restaurant the night before, I surfed the internet to check what the BRAT diet is. Just before surfing the internet,…
