3rd visit to the Pedi

This morning we went on a 3rd visit to the Pedi for Ethan's eye stye. It's official that his 2 styes did not become smaller and the left eye looks like it has developed a new stye. Mummy had to work late the last week and did not have a chance to have a good look at Ethan's condition since he was already asleep at night when I am back and still sleeping the next morning when we leave for work. Although my ah lou commented it was nothing when I realised it was so bad on Thurs morning, we finally get a chance to see Dr Sim today.

Dr Sim was briefed on the treatment that Ethan received from another Pedi during his absence (holidays) the week before (since Ethan had gotten high fever then) which he explained has got no relations with the eye stye. This round, Dr Sim prescibed a new eye drop which contains steriod to facilitate healing. If the styes do not go away in a week or 2, we will have to be referred to an eye specialist to get them examined. Reason why he did not want us to go at this stage was that he had come across a few cases where the stye only got smaller after a few months! And on contary, there were cases where the child had to undgergo a surgery to remove the stye! Sigh.. I hope things will be improved after administering this new eye drops, otherwise, we will have a string of worries on this.

And we were also cleared that Ethan only has a flow murmur instead of heart murmur which the other Pedi has alerted us during our visit to her clinic. But she had explained to us that sometimes when a child has high fever, the heart beat will be irregular so may not be a real case of heart murmur. Flow murmur seems like innocent heart murmur so Dr Sim has also told us not to be too worried. Thankfully, this confirmation came, as I was worried for a whole week day and night whenever I think abt the possibility of Ethan having a heart murmur.
