July 2008 - Roseola (fake measles) or measles

2/7/08 (wed)

Aunty Lan called mama at around 6 pm saying i had fever and advised mama to bring me to the pediatrician. Since mama was just working nearby at her client's place, she packed her stuff and picked me up immediately.

Doctor Chan said i had mild fever and my throat was a bit red. He gave me medication for fever and inflamation for the throat.

4/7/08 (friday)

My fever was on and off. Mama brought me to Dr Chan again. This round, Dr. Chan gave me another type of medication for fever and antibiotic as standby in case my fever above 38C.

5/7/08(saturday)

Fever subsided. Rashes appeared on my forehead, appetite decreased and i passed motion few times - dark green in colour. Mama called Dr Chan and was advised to monitor the rashes. If rashes appear on other parts of my body, mama have to bring me back to Dr. Chan.


6/7/08 (Sunday)

Rashes appeared on my chest, stomach....... eventually to hands and legs. Dada and mama brought me to Dr Chan again, Dr Chan said i had fake measles and the rashes will fade away in few days time. I was given a bottle of calamine to apply on skin, culture and wind medication for drinking.

7/7/08 (Monday) - 9/7/08 (wed)

More and more rashes. My face was as red as birthmark as the rashes joined. Rashes mainly on my face, chest and stomach. Mama was in doubt whether it was Roseola or Measles. Aunty Lan too thought it might be measles instead of Roseola. Anyway, both of them have come to the conclusion to treat it as measles, meaning no bath and have to wear long sleeves and long pants.

10/7/08 (Thur) - 11/7/08 (friday)

Rashes started to fade away. My face is almost back to my original pretty face but not quite there yet.

12/7/08 (Saturday)

Fake measles reemerged! My cheeks, chest, back, hands and legs were full with rashes! Other than this, no fever. Again fake measles was back! This round more rashes, rashes appeared in areas that were not previously covered.

2nd attack!

15/7/08 (Tuesday)

Still have rashes but not as much as the 2nd round. Hopefully no more 3rd round of "fake measles".
