Running Nose

Friday around 9:30 AM William’s school gave me a call asking me to pick him up because he had running nose.  It turned out the nurse for this session is not the same nurse in the summer so she did not know that William has allergies.   But since I was there so I picked him up anyway.  It’s the Covid-19 pandemic, I understand that everyone is so sensitive with Covid-19 symptoms like running nose, cough, fever, etc.

William asked “Did you go to the office?” – I said Yes, then he started to throw tantrums.   He pulled me toward the parking lot while I was talking to the nurse.  I told him to wait but he was so angry that he ran to the car; I had to say sorry to the nurse to run after him.  Once in the car he kept continue to cry and kick.  I asked him what was wrong.  He said, “I don’t want you to go to the office without me!” – “But I have to go to the office to tell them that I’m here to pickup you” – I said and tried to calm him down.   But that did not work, he was upset on the way home.

Anyway, next Monday is Labor holiday so counting today that he was off early, that’s total of 4 days off school for him.

 

Allergy – Skin Reactions

Itchy all over the face

Sunday noon.  We were cleaning up the toys box; and William was playing with the toys as normal.  When I prompted him that it was about time to have lunch, I noticed that his face skin near the left eyes turned red so after he sat down on the chair, I used a wet towel to clean his face.  Today we had chicken soup vermicelli.  After only a few spoons, his face got worse and he was scratching on over his face and neck, especially his left eye.  So we stopped feeding him; I gave him a teaspoon of Claritin and asked Tim to give him a shower.  Then we applied some itchy cream on his face.  Other than feeling itchy, he didn’t not have any signs of breathing problem which told me that it was only skin reactions.

We continued lunch; but I changed his diet.  I fed him spaghetti instead.  Obviously he was feeling terrible with the itch that he ran to bed and didn’t want to eat just after a few spoon.  So I gave him a bottle of milk instead; and applied 1 more time the itchy cream.

By 2:00 PM, less itchy and the redness on his face gradually disappeared but his eyes still not getting better but I could tell it was less swollen.

By 4:00 PM he didn’t take a nap so we took him to Chuck e Cheese.

Tim said it might be the vermicelli but I really don’t think so because his eyes started to get swollen before I fed him the chicken soup.  Must be something from the toys; these toys are sitting in the box for so long so there might be dust or something that triggered his skin reactions.

Neck too!
His left eye looked really bad

Getting better!
William enjoyed eating Zebra popcorn.
