Renee's been getting mosquito-like marks on her legs and it spread to even the soles of her feet. Last night(or rather, early this morning), daddy whom had slept with her the whole night(to relief me from Monday's lack of sleep) noticed that her eyes were abit swollen again and her eyes did appear more puffy when she woke up later.
On Sunday evening, although she's ate a meal prepared by me but we gave her portion of the baked potato that came with daddy's dinner order. She's taken baked potato quite a few times before, at Tony Roma's but this is the first time she's developed such bad allergy reaction!(maybe diff restaurants diff ingredients used or it was abit more cream this time? not sure). Her left eye and especially the upper lip swelled badly and those at Sis' place that evening, had the chance to witness it. That night, at about 3am+, she began to complain about itch, mainly at the soles of her feet and I had spent the whole night(I was only about to go to bed then, 'cos we came home after 11 and I had to brew my chinese herbs and had accidentally switched it to 'slow') rubbing her feet til past 5am. Super tired on Monday and I couldn't nap as it's 'cleaning day'...
Daddy, after he's spent some good waking moments(he felt the strain as well) rubbing her with the prickly heat powder(we had thought they're mosquito bites), suggested that I bring her to the PD when I told him of my suspicion that it could be Uticaria. I was contemplating between the Chinese and Western medicinal help and chose the latter as having had such attacks before, I know the itch is pretty unbearable and the western medicine has a faster soothing effect. The clinic assistant whom recognises me told us to wait outside when I told her Renee's got 'rashes'. Then she tried to slot us in as quickly as possible, :>(we were still paying for Renee's colouring books when she called my mobile, heee). The PD told me that mayonnaise contains raw eggs but flu might also trigger hives(yes, in the chinese medicinal field, it is known so too, what body 'heaty/cool', blah blah blah, dunno how to put them into words here and I don't really feel like trying anyway...) but when she learnt that the time when Renee's eye and lip swelled, she concluded it must be an allergy reaction to the food. I then told her that I'm not sure if it's really mayonnaise or sour cream(the PD's not sure if sour cream contains any egg, raw or cooked) that was served and that perhaps daddy can't even tell which and she said "ya, men. they just eat " hahaha.
