The false alarm
Clar had been sick since Friday, having high fever and loss of appetite. The initial thought was: Hand Food Mouth Disease. They also worried that Cait had gotten it too, because she had an ulcer near her throat.
She gurgle with salt water at night; next day she is feeling a lot better despite the small amount of pain. Hubby felt that both girl might have heaty body; ate a lot of junk heaty food recently.
On Sunday night, they decided to bring Clar to KKH because they found some red dots in her mouth. But there are too many people in the hospital, approximately waiting time is estimated 2hr, and that is just the first part.
Without hesitation, they head for Mount A instead.
There are fewer people as compared to KKH. Speed was a lot faster.
Doctor examined Clar and confirmed that she gotten it as viral fever, and not HFMD. So he suggested for blood and urine test.
After an hour of wait for blood test result, Clar did not urine at all. The urine test might have up more than an hour. So they decided to opt out for urine test since Clar is rejecting all liquid.
They thought it will be a lot faster since they opt out the urine test, but this is wrong. Instead, they had been waiting aimlessly despite telling the nurse the situation. It seem like the nurse or the doctor were either too busy or they kept forgetting about them.
A constant reminded to the nurse works. By then it was already 1am, and the total waiting in Mt A is nearly 4hrs.
There's nothing much on Clar, just require more rest, drink more water.
Clar did not attend school for 2 days, and she seem very happy and active during morning and noon time. She just turn very cranky at night, and fortunately, they have a cream to numb her mouth because it is causing her to feel uncomfortable.
Could it be stress Clar is having?
Anyway, they gonna bring her to school the next day. Hoping she will get used to it real soon.
In short, they are glad that it is not HFMD.
