Recently i went back hometown (Penang), went to seaside & eat local foods like usual.

My boy age 1 & 3 years old..ate a bit hawker food but not much.

After 3 days there, the eldest started vomiting non stop until lembik. He got admitted into Adventist Penang.

Then the nightmare started :

1. In hospital he start having high fever, he was so scared to eat anything coz keep vomiting.

2. Then he started cirit birit smpai everytime also his bedsheet kena change (bout 3-4 time daily).

3. Doctor said his liver infected.

So i decided to take him back to KL for better care (Adventist Penang services is too slow plus not hygiene). Transfer him from Adventist Penang to Sime Darby Medical Center in Desa Parkcity.

No regrets coz the services & doctor is superb thumbup.gif

The nightmare continue :

4. After got back from Penang, during travel the lil bro pulak started vomiting non stop in car.

5. End up both my son hospitalized. Both cirit birit, high fever & vomiting non stop cry.gif

6. Doctor takes their stool for lab test.

7. Confirm is ROTA VIRUS cry.gif

8. Rota virus no cure (antibiotic) so only hook on IV for water + potassium.

Gladly to say, they're both cured now. Thanx to the healthcare of SM Hospital & Dr. Liew Pei Sze wub.gif

Mummies, do take note that this Rota Virus sangat easy to jangkit..me myself also almost kena. Its a pain to see our kids hooked up to IV and so on sweat.gif

Actually for this Rota Virus the immunization is when the baby is between 2-6 month old.

Apparently its an optional vaccine..so i didn't take it cry.gif

If your children already grown up, still can take the vaccine?

That HIV is the ''deadly'' virus causing AIDs, however, is quite widely disputed.
