So we got an explanation for the crankiness. Little A’s got Roseola aka false measles.
“Roseola is a common viral infection in children. It is also known as erythema subitum. Roseola is not a major health problem. It goes away on its own without treatment.
Roseola is caused by a viral infection. It is spread by droplets in the air when someone who is infected sneezes or coughs. It most often affects children ages 6 months to 2 years.
Symptoms progress in stages. The stages are:
Stage one: 3-4 days of high fever (102-104°F). Your child is likely to feel cranky and uncomfortable during the fever.
Stage two: A rash that appears on the torso after the fever goes away. The rash is red and can be raised or flat, and may sometimes spread to the face or limbs. The rash is not painful. It tends to wax and wane (get better and worse) over the course of 3-4 days. Your child may feel cranky or itchy during the rash stage of roseola.
Other symptoms are fussiness, loss of appetite and sleeping less.”
You can say hers are typical textbook symptoms, coz the doc literally opened her drawer, took out a medical textbook, and flipped open the page on roseola, with pictures and exact descriptions of the virus.
Aiyah, why you never sayyy, ah girl.
So anyway, mystery solved. Her oma can rest well now. Sheesh.
On another note, think we’ll make raffles medical at tampines 1 our regular paedi now. So convenient and we paid subsequent consultation fee although it was our first time, coz she was born at RMH.

alahai.. kesiannya dia… so she is going to get better now? Alhamdulillah. Uncle Anwar said he didn’t get to play with Auni much that day cos she is not in a good mood.
i like this pic of auni. she looks so pensive.
Hello hana!! dah lama tak kasi comments kat sini. Mateen also had the same thing on the 1st day of raya!!! Imagine the crankiness!!! Fever for the past 3 days then on the eve of raya, the rashes came out by the 2nd day evening, it was gone.
I didn’t go to dr, encountered it before with Marsya. All I gave was anti-hisatamine/ubat flu tu once and that’s it. I just buat bodoh, cuma kena tahan dia punya crankiness, dukung tak kena, duduk tak kena. Penat!!!
Maybe the virus was from geylang tak?? Mateen had the fever on wed/thurs and he’s also teething.
Alamak, yah hor mariani, budak-budak ni jangkit from that geylang trip, agaknya! :S and same lah the symptoms, nak dukung and nak pangku ajer, very unlike the usual self. Is mateen better now?
