Insect Bite

Last Tuesday, you had an insect bite above your eyelid, 1-2 bites on your face and a few more on your leg. At night, you woke up at 3+am and refused to go back to sleep and kept making funny noise with your eyes closed. Mummy got no choice but to wake you up and you were much happier, Daddy kept you company while you watch youtube on ipad. Finally, at 4+am, you were tired and mummy latch you to sleep.




The next morning, your eyelid was swollen and your eyes became odd sizes. Your ankle was also swollen due to the insect bite.  We called your PD Dr Chan but he was on overseas leave so we had to search for another PD near our place, we brought you to Dr Winston at Kidslink. Dr Winston explained that your eyelid is swollen because you scratch the insect bite, causing the wound to be exposed and the bacteria on our skin which is usually harmless, enter through the wound and caused your swollen eyelid. We were given antibiotics,  a medicine to stop the itch, an eye drop for your eye and another cream for your the insect bites on your leg. We spent $128.40 on this visit but it was money well spent cause the swell subside after a day's medication but feeding you medicines is a nightmare cause you kept struggling and there was one time you vomited everything out including your dinner. Now, you are more used to it and won't struggle so much but you just refused to open your mouth.




On a happier note, we brought you a straw cup cause you don't seem to like drinking from a sippy cup and seeing how you love to snatch our drink and drink from our straw(although Mummy and Daddy will press it so nothing goes into your mouth). You loved the straw cup and had been using it for one to two weeks.
