Garren fever and vomitting was gone. NO sign of blister on his hands and feet. Ah zhu no sign of fever and blister oso. Think its not HFMD. They sre too heaty as the weather this few days are very dry. Informed the school that they are free of HFMD. Belle was absent from school cos she got fever. Fed her medicine. Fever wont go away. Ask her, she say she few days never move her bowels. Before bed, I used those constipation pump for kids on her. She immediately feel stomach pain and go toilet. She let out alot of gases and even vomited. Then after that, I bathed her and ask her go sleep. She say she feel much better. At night, the fever was gone.
