2nd visit to PD

After returning from Phuket last friday, my mum told us that she discovered a hard lump on Jasper's left groin  area while she was bathing him.  We didn't notice any such lump since his birth and we were quite concern as the lump was rather big and hard, but the boy seem to be unaffected by it-he didn't cry when we touched it.  Hubby suspected it was a swollen lymph node but since we didn't know the cause of it we brought him to see the PD yesterday.

Hubby told the PD there was a swell on baby's groin and he asked if it was the left side, and we said yes.  PD immediately told us it was due to an infection from the BCG jab which was on his left butt.  He said it was not uncommon and the swell will take sometime to subside maybe months but it may also get worse and puss may form as such we need to monitor the color of the swell / skin, if it becomes reddish and watery we need to probably get it remove immediately. Well that's abit of a relieve cos at least now we know the cause of the lump and it's not something unknown, just pray that it gets better.

At the same time, PD also commented that Jasper had slight oral thrush (whitish stuff on his tongue) and he told us to clean his tongue with a warm cloth and apply some oral medication which he will prescribe. It will clear within a week  or so. Hmm..maybe that's why he's taking his milk so slowly :P
