it’s probably not bed bugs

that caused Ashley to scratch nonstop.  This is because last night we all slept in our beds and yet this morning, Ashley’s body began to itch when she woke up.  So, she scratched and scratched till red patches appeared all over her legs, hands and buttocks 🙁  Her eyelids were slightly red too.  I quickly applied calamine lotion on those areas and then fed her a teaspoon of allergy meds given by her doc a few weeks when she had a slight rash on her finger and feet.  Then, I sent her off to school eventhough and she cried when I left.  Bad mommy huh?  Luckily she was ok when I picked her up.  The teacher said she was fine and only cried a bit.  I will be feeding her the allergy meds for the another day or two, just in case.  She didn’t scratch anymore this whole afternoon. In the meantime, I think she is allergic to some food which she ate while in Ipoh.  She had the following:-


Ipoh Koay Teow Soup at 2 different places 2 days in a row


Chee Cheong Fun with char siew

Oyako Don (chicken/egg rice) at Sushi King

maybe she’s allergic to Ipoh koay teow? or the ingredients in the soup or the chee cheong fun?  *sigh*  Really mind-boggling.

    among all things in the food, prawn should be the biggest culprit. no? or something they use to boil the soup?
    she didn’t take any prawns that day. perhaps in the soup but she had eaten prawns before though

    poor Ashley. It could still be the dust or dustmites. It takes a few days to get it completely out of her system.

    i guess when she scratch, it spreads to even more places…anyway, it is good to “test” if ashley is really sensitive to all those food…but test carefully la

    Hmmm…it could be the soup base, or maybe bed buds too, it will spread?

    Hope Ashley get well soon. No more scratch scratch.

  16. Mmm.. agree with other mommies.. could be seafood.. ie in this case the culprit could be prawn. At her age, she can do the allergy test. If you really really want to be sure, you can ask her paed in your next visit.
