[daBoss]

thanks guys for the well wishes... am feeling better today - believe that the worst is over... should be quarantined for another 2 days :)

hands and feet really bad - full of blisters. mouth ok... but ulcers on the tonsils make it unbearable to swallow. also, don't know why so many many many blisters on my face on head... when i get up in the morning, my hair stuck to my pillow because of the oozing liquid from the blisters... yuck!

[Dino]

U in a hospital?

[victor]

hey are sure it is not chicken pox? usually in kids we don't see so much blister over the face. get some difflam lozenges or oral aid gel to sooth the oral discomfort.

Daboss, sorry to hear that you're unwell. If it's chicken pox, then I recommend you drink lots of water chestnut juice (mui li) which helps a lot and avoid dark soy sauce in your food.....you might get unwanted dark spots on your face and body after the scabs dry off. Anyway, hope you'll recover quickly and watch out for Dalady and your kids if they haven't contracted chicken pox before!

Yeah, no dark coloured food sauce and no scratching to prevent scarring.

TYPO

...should be 'chestnut'.

[daBoss]

err... no leh... the doctor told me hfmd... it my palms and soles really full of blisters. when i walk it feels like needles... i also have ulcers in my mouth/throat... so i guess it really is hfmd.

the only odd thing is why so many blisters on face and head???

[lychee]

chicken pox - old version???
hfmd - new version????

Perhaps our forum doctors can enlighten you on this. Take care. :)

Walking feeling like needles....sounds like my gout attacks.

[KoChun]

[Fishingman]

Wahlau..... good thing those virus kenot spread through the forum. Hehehe

Daboss's case sounds real bad. Dem scary man! Hope you get well real soon. Sounds like it really really hurts.

At least my fever is gone and I just got back from Genting just now. Hehehe

[Zazu]

hope you recover soon!... on the brighter side.. you still have time to recover b4 christmas.

[daBoss]

is it possible that i had both hfmd and chickenpox at the same time? some one told me that there is an outbreak for both in kl at the moment...

any doctors can comment?

Dem serious man! starting to sound like a case from an episod of House-lah. :squeeze: But lets hope it's just hfmd only.

sorry to hear that baby, try calamine lotion to ease the heatiness and itch of the sores to minimize scratching........ our paediatrician prescribed that when my kids got it

[monay]

sorry to hear about it daboss and athena. I got chicken pox in my twenties, and suffered so badly (3 weeks, still have some scars)). That time didn't know about acyclovir. It's an antiviral and if diagnosed and given early enough can shorten the disease.

Technically possible....but very rare leh.....
I think is chicken pox lah....HFMD veri rare in adult!!!

[athena]

h20: no worries...what to do.... sud hv kena when young...at least not so severe....


monay: how early is early? the doctor gave me the acyclovir at the first sight of the spots

alf: why do you say that hfmd is very rare in adults? issit becoz adult's body can fight off the virus?

daboss: hope you're feeling better!! :)

[Oddfather]

if I am not mistaken, a doctor told me that hfmd attacks on children 10 and below. The older you are, the chances decreases. There4, for adults, its almost nil. Any doctors to confirm this??

[victor]

err... no leh... the doctor told me hfmd... it my palms and soles really full of blisters. when i walk it feels like needles... i also have ulcers in my mouth/throat... so i guess it really is hfmd.

in chicken pox or varicella you do get blister in the mouth and oral ulcers too!though it is not impossible to get hmfd in adults but there are many cases seen in outpatient. very rarely they(hmfd) cause so extensive lesion over the face. but never mind hope you recover real soon! cheers!

[victor]

Technically possible....but very rare leh.....

its like lightning twice on the same spot huh alfred!:D

[monay]

that was pretty good. It should be given within 24/48 of start of rash.
