Itchy Itchy

I think the NAVY OPEN HOUSE was too HOT for Ace.

In the end, he started having heat rash as the weather and temperature after tat also not very good.

It all started on a sunday... he woke up as usual, went for his Shichida classes and after tat went to wait for Daddy to finish his work.. all along we were in the air conditioned environment so he was okay.

On our way home though, he started scratching his neck and by night time, he was scratching his tummy, his hands, his neck, his face and even his legs. But only a teeny weeny bit.

As he had a long day, we gave him his night feed early and let him sleep early.

At around 1.30am though, he suddenly work up and cried and cried and cried and cried. He was scratching and scratching all over. The little itches have now become full grown bumps all over his face, neck, body, hands. He cried and cried and he wouldn't stop and because his finger nails were long, he scratched himself till there were open wounds.

As Daddy tried to pacify him, I went to the internet to check and realized that it was heat rash.

I then used green bean powder(which is good for stopping itchyness) to bath him and he cried and cried and cried... finally though, after playing with him for a while, he quiet down and then let him sleep in our room with the fan on at full blast.

Thank god he woke up the next day happy and ok. All the rashes were gone. But to be safe, we decided to let him walk around the house half naked.

At night, we wanted to bring him to my office and since the rashes were gone, we decided to let him wear his liverpool jersey.. alas tat was a wrong move!

Night time came and he started scratching again as the jersey had alot of threads inside and no lining. Neither was it cotton and sweat absorbent. But it was not as bad as the night before.

So after that, we were really careful to let him wear only cotton material.

Anyway, the end of the saga was that we were told to let him drink coconut water to release the heatiness. Dunno if that works but after drinking for two days, he got better already :)
