Alycia is really sick and has been throwing up for the last 2 days. Each time her temperature goes beyond 38.5 degrees Celcius, she will puke. This afternoon just before lunch, she was playing with the maid and laughing away. She laughed so hard that she puked…. and all that came out was phlegm, lots of them. There wasn’t any food for her to puke as she had puked them all out after breakfast. I held the plastic bag and sat waiting for her to puke for almost 15 minutes. Poor Alycia was puking with so much might, pushing out the phlegm that after puking, her eyes were all red and there were tiny red blood spots all over her neck like this :
Last year, the same thing happened to her. It was the first time I had seen such spots. Even the paed at Pantai Medical Center, Bangsar was not sure what caused those spots. He suspected that the spots were due to an allergy to certain medication that he had prescribed her. I was really worried that it was a symptom of Dengue fever as the spots remained on her body for more than 1 week. A blood test was done to rule out Dengue fever and of course it wasn’t. After that particular incident, each time she puked too hard, the spots would appear on her face and body. Now, I know that the spots would habitually appear each time she pukes.
Hopefully Alycia would be feeling much better by tomorrow as she will be attending her first ballet class tomorrow evening.
