<\/p>\nIt started with some red\u00a0bumps like pimples\u00a0on his forehead last Wednesday.\u00a0 Then on Thursday, out came one under his nose. I undressed him for his morning bath and noticed one blister below his belly button. Later in the day,\u00a0I saw more\u00a0on his back.\u00a0When I came back from work on Friday, I saw few new ones on his face, neck and back of the ear. My sis confirmed that it is chickenpox but I didn’t want to believe her cause I just recover from some kind of cold sores due to viral infection which look alike chickenpox. Moreover, there is no sign of chickenpox symptom…no\u00a0fever or itchiness and still so jovial.<\/p>\n
We brought him to see the paediatrician to confirm the diagnosis. True enough what\u00a0my sis said. It’s chickenpox or also known as varicella in medical terms which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus but thank God it’s just a mild one. And thank God he don’t scratch them nor behaving vague or uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Now, where he got\u00a0the virus\u00a0from? My brother-in-law got it first from don’t know where then my niece and followed by her sister. Then later I had the cold sores which doctor says it is not chickenpox but\u00a0from the same family. I even went to see Chinese medical practitioner and he too said it is not chickenpox. I still breastfeed Jonathan and now he had got it from me I suppose. So that confirms that the cold sores I had earlier was chickenpox but my mom said I had it when I was a baby. So is this a second attack?<\/p>\n
Mom said when I was having chickenpox, I was so difficult. I didn’t allow my\u00a0shirt to be changed and demanded for the same shirt. Poor mom was looking around shops to see if she can find the same shirt but none. Unlike me, Jonathan boy is being good to me. He is like his normal self. So, Darling, he doesn’t have my gene, ok?<\/p>\n

The photo above was taken on the 3rd day. More and more bumps\u00a0are coming out and his look is worse than what you are seeing here. They are all over his face, neck, body and legs. I spotted some on his scalp. He should be getting the vaccine in another month but the virus just couldn’t wait and choose to attack him now which is close to his birthday in the next few days. All his birthday photos will look “dotty” later. *Sigh<\/em>* Good thing we\u00a0didn’t plan to throw him\u00a0a birthday party otherwise we have to call it off.<\/p>\n Will it leave a scar? Any remedies to clear the blister asap?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It started with some red\u00a0bumps like pimples\u00a0on his forehead last Wednesday.\u00a0 Then on Thursday, out came one under his nose.
