We thought Izzah was already fine on Saturday. The fever has gone since last Thursday.
But on Friday, we noticed some rashes behind her ears and on her face. Heat rashes? I tried to comfort myself. But, my heart kept on saying that it could be measles.
Tak kan kena campak kot. Kan baru last month ambik vaksin campak (MMR – measles, mumps and rubella). Vaksin chicken pox belum ambik lagik…Ish.. muka dah berbintat ni….
On Saturday, the red rashes were getting worst. It spreaded all over her body and legs. As well as on her feet.
Mama, campak dengan chicken pox tu tak sama kan? Chicken pox besar2 berair. Campak lak camana? Ada air gak ke?
Hubby kept on asking me. Honestly, I didn’t know the answer. I only know how Chicken Pox looks like because I had it when I was 13 years old. But, measles?
So, we hurried to the panel clinic. The doctor said it could be measles or some kind of viral rashes. She advised to go see a specialist to get her blood checked.
At SMC, Izzah cried and struggled like crazy when the nurse tried to get some blood from her finger. It took two nurses to get a tiny vial of blood from that powerful baby. Fuh!
The blood test result – not dengue, not measles, just rashes. The doctor gave some antibiotic because her white blood count increased a bit. Other than that, she is fine.
sama macam Ziyyad,demam panas tinggi…3 hari lepas tu timbul bintik bintik,the paed said,ini biasa lepas demam tu,no need to worry,Viral rash je rupenye
so no need to worry mama Izzah..kitaorang lumuq ZIyyad dengan Calamine lotion and also bedak sejuk,pasal rash tu buat dia susah tido dan menangis-nanges bila berpeluh
p/s::mul2 cuak gak la kan,ingat denggi ke apa ke..ALhamdulillah tade apa2..3 kali kami pi paed :)just to make sure
cuak jugak tau masa mula2 bintik2 tu naik.. muka jadi bengkak je.. risau la.. nantikan tak comei anak dara ni nanti.. nasib baik ari ni suma dah clear..
Hi Littlemama..slalu jugak baca blog u..but never left comment..anyway, my baby got the same symptoms last month..the fever was on and off..and few days later all the rashes came out..did the blood test (sure u cuak mcm i kan while waiting for the result?)..hehe..and yes, kinda hard to get blood sample from a wiggling baby.. luckily it was not dengue or measles…just viral fever like what Izzah had recently…

hehe… sebijik mcm ryan… xpe la.. kuat sikit badan izzah nnt sbb dah ada antibody..
hmm…it’s Roseola perhaps ( u can read about it in net..) it’s a viral rashes…usually it will appears after fever subsided…n accompany by mild runny nose..it’s like measle-like..no worries..it’s not dangerous but only watch out for high grade fever because it may cause febrile fit…my daughter had this Roseola thing twice..:)
