allergy..

Nadia's skin has been peeling off especially on he face but they say that its normal for a newborn to experience that.. Nya drg 'tukar kulit'.. We noticed a particular redness on her left ear a few days ago but thought that its the same thing and while i was at the MCH clinic, decided to pop the question to the attending nurse. She says that its quite normal and advised me to put on some lotion on the area..

So i went home and right after Dia's shower that afternoon i put on some lotion.. Then yesterday afternoon i noticed a slight yellowing so i thought it was just dried up lotion so I clean it up and decided to stop applying the lotion.. Then late last night during one of Dia's feed i noticed that there was slight watering on her left ear.. I wiped it off thinking maybe susu nya tekeluar dari mulut nya and mengalir kesana kah and then it came back!!! Then i noticed that the liquid was yellowish in color and there is a slight swelling!!! As it was 3am i decided to sleep it off and when we woke up early this morning both Anjai and I decided to bring her to the hospital.. 

Doctor says that it might be an allergic reaction to the lotion that i gave as the secretions only came from the areas that i applied the lotion to and that i should stop using it (DOH!) She also checked inside Dia's ears and alahmdulilah, secretions is only outside and the insides are normal.. She gave us Hydrocortisone cream. Hopefully the cream works and all will be normal again.. *sigh*

btw krg ku umban lotion atu ke sungai tutong!
