Rayyan's Fever

We actually went to see Dr Azizi this morning. Rayyan's fever turned out weird where rashes suddenly appeared all over his body, face, and you can see swollen eyes as if he's dehydrated... nampak macam muka bengkak-bengkak sembap2 pun ada... but he's as chirpy as usual.

Rayhana pun started to have runny nose.. and suddenly a lesion appeared on her cheek macam nak naik bisul (according Dr Azizi). Presumably, viral/bacteria infection berjangkit from Rayyan. So far Rayhana has not gotten the fever. Hopefully not, insyaAllah.

Rayyan's temperature reached 39C today so terpaksala masukkan ubat buntut dia...

On the way to the doctor just now we were commenting of his face yang bengkak-bengkak tu.. he suddenly said "I drink lots of water.. that's why my face bengkak2..." hahaha.. I kalau anak I demam.. I have to make sure he would not have any problem with dehydration. In fact, everytime Rayyan pees yellow, I would advise him to drink lots more water afterwards.

Now Rayyan's temperature is stable at around 37C, which is normal. His face still sembab.. maybe baru bangun tido. Rayhana pun after applying her facial creams, she slept sampai nak maghrib baru bangun.... no fever. Rayyan is on antibiotics right now, together with his paracetamol and phenagan (not sure if I spelled it right). Dr Azizi asked us to monitor him for 1 more day... if he still has fever tomorrow night, he advised us to go to the emergency ward and get a blood test for fear of dengue.

Now I am getting the cold.... no fever but my nose is runny and I'm sneezing more than Ja the sinus queen.

Nana requested me to post the immunization card details.. so here it is..

Rayyan's Card

1. BCG - at birth

2. Triple Antigen (Diphteria, Tetanus & Whooping Cough) + Polio + Hib
- 1st dose > 3 mths, 2nd dose > 4 mths, 3rd dose > 5 mths

3. Hepatitis B
- 1st dose > at birth, 2nd dose > 1 mth, 3rd dose > 6 mths

4. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) - 12 mths

5. Chicken Pox - 13 mths

6. Hepatitis A - 1st dose > 14 mths, 2nd dose > 20 mths

7. Double Antigen (Diptheria & Tetanus) + Polio
- 1st booster + Hib > 18 mths, 2nd booster > 6 yrs, 3rd booster > 12 years

8. MMR - 4 years

9. BCG (if no scar) - 6 yrs

10. BCG - 10-11 yrs

11. Tetanus - every 10 yrs

We also did optional (sunat) but highly advisable (snat muakkad hehehe) Pneumococcal when they started introducing it in 2006. And since Rayyan at that time was 2 years old, he only needed 1 dose and that's it. Rayhana has to go through 4 doses.

Rayhana

1. BCG - at birth

2. Hepatitis B - at birth, 1 mth, 6 mth, 5 yrs (booster)

3. DTaP & Polio & Hib - 2mths, 3 mths, 4 mths, 18 mths

4. MMR - 12 mths, 4-6 yrs

5. DTaP & Polio - 4-6 yrs

6. Tetanus - 12 yrs

7. Chicken pox - 1 yr

8. Hepatitis A - 2 yrs, 2.5 yrs.

For Rayhana we did Pneumococcal.. so far 1 out of 4 doses, and Rotavirus (2 out of 3 oral doses so far).. ni semua ni sunat muakkad la...

Okay that's it... time to time I anticipate there will be more optional immunization.. but so far apa yg diorang optionalkan, I wajibkan for my kids.

Yg tak amik just the flu shots... I think I might start that soon. Selalu dengar cerita TV mat salleh je yg amik flu shots ni.. orang Malaysia mana pernah amik flu shots every year? Now that they are offering it at DSH, why not? Hopefully immune la sikit bebudak ni, especially Rayyan who always gets penyakit everytime he starts school ni....
