Fever at 39 deg C wor.....of course did not let him go to school today.
He was fine when he got home from school yesterday.
Fine when I dropped him off at his Mandarin class....
But when I picked him up, his face was all scrunched up.
Complained about not feeling well, and then kept silent (which is definitely NOT s2's character if he is well!).
S1 kept saying "He says he has fever, but I'm sure he is just pretending!"
Touched him, and his skin was indeed warmer than usual.
Only managed to test his temperature when we got home...summore the jam was rather horrendous yesterday evening.
S2 must be feeling quite crappy as he skipped dinner, and just slept on the sofa....then woke up and went up to his room to sleep.
No. I haven't taken him to see a doctor yet. Thought I'll wait till another day or two and see if fever subsides. Since he was off-school, I decided to take him for the allergy testing over at the "Star Trek" Clinic. Wanted to do this for ages.....
Wow! Turns out, S2 is allergic to sooooooooooooo many things.
Breathable allergens:-
- dust mites
- household dust
- cigarette smoke
- all sorts of animal hair (dog, cat, goose feathers)
Foods:-
- cow's milk
- eggs
- chicken
- beef
- prawn
- grapes
- potato
- ice/cold drinks
Aiyo!! All the common things in our house!!
You should see his disappointment...he was like "Hrmf! I can't eat ANYTHING from McDonald's. I usually eat nuggets. Now I cannot eat that. No more french fries!"....and then he kept asking to know if he is allergic to PORK! And when the therapist was testing him, he was like praying "Please. Please. Let me not be allergic!"
He was absolutely ecstatic when the result was negative.
Hahhaha
No lah... not absolutely cannot eat... Been eating those foods for donno how long already. Just pace the consumption and not consume all the NO-NO foods in one seating.
Besides, they have a treatment that can gradually minimize the effects of the allergens on the body. Loads of write-ups about this on the internet. It's called Bio-Resonance, and is a German technology.
Oh...our friend was pretty energetic and chatty despite of his fever this morning. I don't think the therapist had ever in her life seen such a chatty patient! She asked me if he is like this at home, i.e. chatty and active. :-)
We went to Crystal Jade for lunch .... and his appetite had returned, which was good news to mommy!
Forced him to have a nap this afternoon...or rather threatened. No nap. No games.
So he kwai-kwai go and sleep....and still is.
:-)
Hope his fever breaks soon...

Allergy to potato and grapes? Wah, it's a bit tricky preparing food for him now.
hope he recovers soon ya... that's quite a lot of things to be allergic to! Good thing it's not totally-cannot-eat kinda allergy... and he stills has pork!! hahaha...
O boy, that's a long list of everday things we eat to pace out. Will you be trying out the treatment for S2... this is the first time I've heard of the bio-resonance technology. Hope it's not something the star trek doctor is trying to make xtra $ out of?!
Get well soon, S2!
these allergies are not permanent rite? mostly is wat we eat everyday le. how come u decide to bring him to check on his allergies wan?
hope S2 will be ok soon, mine just recovered from fever & now still a bit flu-ey! :(
wah liao wei... so many allergens!
sei mm sei mou?
Hahahah..so funny abt him praying not to be allergic to pork...why? any particular pork dish he likes?
I hope he gets well soon too! He sounds fine if he can be his regular chatty self :) (that's a rule of thumb my paed tells me too. Active, chatty, naughty kids are healthy LOL)
Don't really go for those allergy tests since they can't isolate the exact allergy unless it's obvious from small, you know?
In case I don't have internet later, Happy Chinese New Year to you!
Shoppingmum - Yeah..but not so much of the potato and grapes but more of the milk, eggs and chicken lah...
Sting - Thank goodness it's not "totally cannot eat" kind of allergy...just perhaps an irritant kind lah.
bp - At first, when my friend told me about it, I was also rather skeptical...her son went for the treatment and apparently had drastic improvement.
Then I went to the internet and read about it. It's an alternative therapy that has been used in UK, Germany and other places.
Irene - I knew that S2 is allergic to certain foods..but just have not pinpoint on what. I took him to those conventional doctor to have him checked out (to test for allergens using the prick test...) but as he was on medication then, the results will not be accurate, so not done.
Since he didn't go to school, and I had time, I took him there lor.
Mott - Loads of pork dishes he likes...like Siew-yoke, Or-Tau-Yu-bak, Chue-Yoke-Yuen!
Kittycat - Actually, from small, he would have periods of wheezing triggered by something he ate...but because we eat all sorts of foods, we really couldn't pinpoint. I knew it was from foods, because after about a day (after the foods have been digested and is rid by the body), his wheeze will stop automatically...
i hope he outgrow them soon!!
hey dun mind getting that star trek clinic check on my girl too. dunno here got or not??
wow...quite a number of food allergies. If pork turns out positive...then he would be vegetarian.
It is good that it is just a mild allergy.
M3Angels - You google under "Bio-Resonance" and "Allergy Clinic". They actually have 3 or 4 clinics here. One actually is attached to a hospital.
wmd - Wa...if pork also positve, then cialatt!!
Lucky the allergies not life-threatening lah.
Then must be more careful of his diet. But breathable allergens more tricky. Can still ctrl at home but at schl or outdoor, can't really avoid hor. Hope the treatment works well for S2.
Slavemom - I want to try the treatment for S2. Hopefully, it will at least REDUCE the allergic reactions.
