Roseola

Sorry for the silence. Things has not been so bright since Monday. As mentioned in the earlier post, BaoBao fall sick , he is having high fever.
I brought him to see doctor on Monday, then Tuesday we went again after received a call from baby sitter saying baobao temperature still high and also vomitting when having his cereal.
Doctor said very likely is Roseola....First time hearing this sickness.....did some research...

What are the symptoms of roseola?It's possible to have the virus without having noticeable symptoms. But roseola usually starts out with a sudden, relatively high fever, often above 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fever typically lasts three to five days and may end abruptly, followed by the telltale rash. The rash may last for days or only hours.
The rash is pink and may have small flat spots or raised bumps. These spots may have a lighter "halo" around them and may turn white if you press on them.
The rash isn't itchy or uncomfortable, and contact with the rash itself doesn't spread the illness. It's usually seen on the trunk and neck, but it can extend to the arms, legs, and face.
If your baby has roseola, he may also be irritable and tired and have mild diarrhea, a decreased appetite, and swollen eyelids. The lymph nodes in his neck and at the base of his skull may also be a bit enlarged. In general, children with roseola don't appear especially ill, considering how high their fevers get.
About 10 to 15 percent of children with roseola have a febrile seizure. If this happens, your baby may become unconscious and jerk his arms, legs, or facial muscles for two or three minutes. He may also lose control of his bladder or bowels.


Today is the 5th day, Baobao Temperature seems stable now, no more feverish but diarrhea visited him yesterday :(
He was having loo for more than 5 times yesterday...it was so watery....then this morning 2 times already for 1 hour duration, so i brought him to see codtor to get some diarrhea medicine, Doctor were so nice, he gave me 2 tins of Similac samples for Gary, he can't take anymore lactose, this will make him worse....So soya based product is a wiser choice.

I'm so heartbroken seeing my baobao suffer ....his chubby cheeks no longer there.....He is already at the lower end of weight chart, now is like a kitten :(

Any recommendation for babies to gain weight? I must pump him like a ballon to grow to a big boy.

Friends were telling me that you will see your baby suddnely grown up after he/she get well from sickness ..Hope this will come true!
