I fell very sick last week. It started with a cough, then high fever on Tuesday. Mama bought me to NUH on Wednesday to visit Dr Chan, who diagnosed that I had a throat infection. The next few days was terrible. I could not eat well at all, and spent most of my day drinking milk and napping. My fever tapered off on Friday, and then I started to develop reddish rashes all over my body (false measles).

By Sunday, my rashes were still there and my poor appetite was beginning to worry everyone at home, as I continued to refuse food and lose weight. I was being offered every possible food in the world, and when I finally decided that mama's cheese sandwich was an interesting food item to mouth, I developed a v v very bad bout of diary allergy! Within 5 minutes of mouthing the sandwich, my face was enveloped in red angry rashes, my eyes turned red and I vomitted multiple times all over my doggie and the bed.

I was sent to NUH A&E immediately. I was first assessed by a nurse. She checked and weighed me. My weight has dropped to a measly 8.3kg (est 3rd percentile?!?). The good thing about the hospital visit though, was that I started to recover from my allergy by the time we saw the resident A&E PD Dr Kong. Hence, Dr Kong decided that my allergy was probably not life-threatening, and also declared me fit for school the next day.
