Spotted a few blisters on his back and hand this morning. Brought him to Dr Lee (his Flixotide review is on Friday and I asked if I can bring him today).
Good news is, Dr thinks he's good enough to stop the nightly puffs now but because of the pox, she prefers that I continue in case he's not strong enough at this point.
ER actually had 1 out of 2 Varicella jabs so this outbreak may not be how it commonly affects others. I can choose to suppress the pox with medication and jab him later but after learning that:
1. The medicine takes bad
2. It's compulsory that he drinks 4 x 5mls of it daily for 5 days, without wasting a single drop
3. It's costly
I decided not to suppress it.
He's going to gain natural immunity against future exposure if he goes through this period without medication. Even though Dr Lee suggests he goes for the second Jab whether or not we suppress the outbreak this time, I figured the prevention with mediation definitely means no immunity formed.
So, no mediation (except for something to help relief the itch).
It is likely he gets it at full impact, but he may also get very little blisters but recover slower than usual. Because he's "half immuned", Dr Lee says she can only quote me possible scenerios.
We'll see how it goes.
Apparently, he's not itching much yet. He's complaining about pain, especially the one that broke.
Pain is good. Pain prevents him from scratching or even touching those blisters.
Poor baby.
Hope AN doesn't get any of it. She had all the jabs. Hope that she won't have to suffer much even if she really gets it from us.
