I am updating this blog with a heavy heart cos Chloe is sick again. This time round she is diagnosed with diarrhoea & suspected of being lactose intolerant :(
To add on to this, Chloe has eczema around her mouth! This has been going on & off for about 1-2 weeks. Just as the rash is healing slowly on it's own without medication, I am thrown off by this bad news again.
Chloe's pediatrician suspects that the rash & diarrhoea might be inter-related. I am quite puzzled as Chloe is taking the current formula milk quite well as we have introduced to her for a good 1 - 2 mths. Well, at this time I guess I have to obey the doctor's advise to stop all milk to Chloe immediately & try on a lactose free formula. No veg & fruits for the time being too.
The diarrhoea actually caused much discomfort to Chloe especially her buttocks are red & painful although I've applied a thick layer of Desitin to her skin. This is due to the acidic content of her poo that resulted in the red & inflamed skin. Chloe cried buckets at the doctor's office & I was pretty worried n stressed up trying to comprehend the doctor's explanation & pacifying her with toys at the same time!
The damage to my pocket was a hefty $152.35 (yeah it's by far the highest!). Well...for the well-being of my baby what choice do I have? The nurse actually cautioned that the new formula milk is tasteless & my baby might not want to consume it! I just wish that Chloe will not reject the new formula milk that will be replacing her current one.
