on FHM (pls recover soon!)

Case number 1001

Name of Clinic : Tanglin

Name of Doctor: House, MD (you can call me Dr. House)

Name of Patient : Nur Alia Athirah

Diagnose:

Patient came with her parents this morning and Alhamdulillah, although there are quite a number of patients, Alia happened to be called upon quite early..

The patient has no fever, and she looked so happy and joyful.

From my observation, i can see that the patient has some rashes around mouth area, hands, feet and some at her back.

I checked her moth and there's no sign of ulcer. If not, the patient will refuse to drink or eat!

I guess it must be the Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFM). More info here.

Moreover, the patient is currently being sent to nursery. So, there are possibility that the disease spread there.

I asked her mom whether this patient was infected from kids there, but she said that she wasn't sure.

Plan of Action:

Medication: Calamine lotion (this one for the affected area from the FHM) and Foban Ointment (this one is for her 'melecet' at the back of ear)

Advise:

DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT send this patient to her nursery yet, until she is fully recovered.

Please check her temperature regularly, if she has any fever, please give Paracetamol and do not hesitate to go to nearby hospital.

This patient will recover in 3 to 4 days, Insya Allah.

Please pray for her recovery! Thank you very much!

For mothers out there, be careful! My sis told me that this is currently a 'hit' disease among kids n infants. Just watch out ya!
