Anaphylactic Shock

Today is a tragic day for rayyan.. Tok mommy fed him a half boiled egg this morning (it was his first time). He only ate a quarter of it. Not long after that he vomitted. Okay so maybe he still can't digest eggs yet. But he was groggy the whole morning.. not feeding well and was very clingy. Initially we thought maybe it was one of his bad days. After 3 hours we started to notice rashes on his forehead. Thought it was an insect bite at first. Then the rash started to spread to the whole body. He actually had an allergic reaction to the EGG! We gave him medicine to cool it down and applied calamine lotion all over his body.


Sian sgt... His ears were so red like hot chilli and he was scratching all over. Thank god after feeding him he slept for nearly 3 hours and the rash subsided. Pity u my dear.. dahla ada eczema, ni allergic to eggs lak. Maybe u are unfortunate in some things but lucky in others. We pray the best for u, sayang..


Now he's back to his old self again. But we still need to feed eggs to him from time to time coz the MMR vaccine contains an egg like substance. Hopefully he'll be able to take the MMR vaccination when he is one year old..
