As compare to Kiern, Keon had a hard time during teething. He had severe diarrhea which lasted for about a week or so. It was so severe that when i washed his butt each time he had diarrhea, he be crying and screaming because he was in pain. I guess the toxic or acid from diarrhea caused him to has a bad nappy rash. Some other symptoms that he experienced:
1. Drooling
2. fussiness
3. biting behavior
4. fever
5. sleep problems
Keon drools a lot! I mean it! I have to keep changing his bib like every hour. Initially when he started drooling a lot, we never put on bib for him and he had a bad bout of rashes on his neck which he scratches till it bleed. *heart pain*
He is still fussing but much lesser now. Biting... he is putting everything that he can get hold of into his mouth.
He had his first fever on 02/02/2009. He started showing signs of uncomfort on 01/02 when we went to cousin house. On that day, he was super fussy and he was a sleepyhead, he was sleeping most of the time and refused to eat and he only want me to carry which was unusual as he likes to be carry no matter by who. I had suspected that something was wrong and true enough, he woke up at 3am with a high fever. Brought him to a clinic first thing in the morning. Had a bad experienced with the clinic opposite my flat. The clinic assistant made me wait to get register, its not like she was super busy, she took her time to stick labels on the medicine bottles then took her time to put back patient record cards which she can jolly do it later after serving me. So all in all, she let me and my "fever" baby waited for about half and hour then she asked me to write down particulars as it was our first visit. After writing, she told me "come back at around 12.30pm"
I asked her "What do you mean to come back around 12.30pm?"
"Because we closed around that time and you are number 29, now is only number 7."
I felt like slapping her on the spot, first you made us wait then you never mentioned that there were a long queue and want us to go back to the clinic around your closing time?! Here I got a baby with high fever, any other clinic would have gave my baby priority to go see the doctor first because baby with fever is no joke! Those who are reading this now may think that I should know there was a long queue, seriously there was no way to tell as there was only about 10 people in the clinic and some of the 10 people are family. Anyway, I had blacklisted that clinic. In the end, I walked to my mum boss clinic few blocks away, should had went there right from the start, I was thinking to go the nearby clinic because my baby got fever, do not want him to expose to much to the sun and hot weather. Haiz...
Keon is still having sleeping problem, I am thinking whether to bring him for baby massage since they said it helps in baby sleep.
