"Felt some relief after all"
Being a mom is indeed tough. It makes you crazy. Makes you overthink at all times. Makes you paranoid for several reasons, yet seeing your little one's smile makes you happy and bring you at peace for somehow.
Yesterday morning I have noticed that my son's rashes are getting worsts. Like it's already affecting his whole face, and even his arms and legs as well. He also can't sleep properly every night since he had the rashes because the itchy feeling makes him irritated and it's really disturbing. So lack of sleep cause him to become grumpy the next day. His tantrums makes me exhausted the whole day.
As a mom my worries are head over heels already, because I'm being so paranoid again. You know? First time mom be like π.
I stop listening to all guesses and posible reasons that I get from the people whom I asked for opinions as I felt I should do something than keep on listening to guesses, so I then decided to bring him to the city to see the doctor so he can have a proper medication.
Though some people had told me that I'm just wasting my money for visiting the doctor as for sure the doctor will only gonna give him an antihistamine, I still go. Lol.
I didn't listen. Because for me, as a mother, money don't have any value if my son is suffering.
Besides what's money for?
Anyway, so yesterday morning I was busy looking, perhaps searching from the internet for a pediatrician nearer from our place so I don't need to bring him to the hospital where I give birth to him, to get a free check up. It's not that I have extra money to pay for a private pedia, what concerns me to travel far is the unstable weather. I don't like traveling while it's raining because my son is too hyper and to tell you honestly whenever I bring him outside I always go home looking like homeless woman. Hahahahaha it's the fact, because I really look so exhausted after carrying my 11 kilos son for one or two hours. Hahahahha
However searching for a pediatrician online is a little bit time consuming. I keep on trying to have an appointment but to no avail there's no progress.
Moreover after two hours of searching, I finally found a nearest pediatrician in our place. I immediately posted a question if do I still need to make an appointment or I can go walk in for the check. And I was very lucky yesterday because I get a quick response from a local community guide. It says that I can go walk in, so I immediately prepare myself.
Do you also response a question from Google community?
Actually I am also one of the local community guide here in our area. I already have badges from it, as I get positive feedbacks from people, but I already stop answering quarries and so I don't have any progress anymore π. The last time I give guidance to someone was year 2020, that's it no more no less ππ.
Anyways, we left home at around 12:50 in the afternoon. The sky was still clear and blue, however some part of it are already gloomy and so we immediately headed to the nearest store to cash out my money from gcash.
I cashed out 1,000 peso's($20) from my gcash account, because I know for sure that I will be going to buy some medicine for him after we visited the pedia.
So after I get the money we immediately get a ride. Actually my plan is to ask the driver to drop us directly to the pediatricians place but I feel shy so after we take off. I walked while carrying my son. Lol.
I started walking, though I wasn't sure where to go. Hahahaha. So I use Google maps instead, and sad to say I get lost. Lol. Sometimes Google maps is not reliable and helping, rather it will makes you loss hahahha.
Because I already felt tired I then decided to asked some help from people I saw in my way. (to be honest I don't usually ask help from people because some people don't really help, but just like the good map's they sometimes gives you a wrong direction, and I already experience it and so after that experience I lose my trust to strangers).
Then unfortunately I found out that we already passed the place and had no other choice but to go back. Hahahaha my goodness. I'm already sweating profusely because my son is quite heavy and also the weather is hot, but no choice but to walked again. Lol.
When I found out the right area, I regretted that I didn't ask. Because we stop there to have a little rest and the clinic was just behind but I didn't know. Suppose we could arrive at the clinic with less tiredness, and earlier but, okay never mind π. I just hate trusting Google maps so much ππ€¦.
So here is what the pediatrician gave us.
People are right that she will only gonna give us antihistamine as his medicine, but I don't have any regrets that I visited the pedia. Atleast I learned that he was fine and he only got allergy so I felt relieved.
Before we go home we stop by at the supermarket to buy his bath soap. Upon entering the shop we saw this colourful Christmas decorations being displayed.
I think he got some curiosity out there, as he literally watched the lights with focus.π. However he got scared with the dancing Santa Claus π so I didn't get a chance to took more photos.
After we bought his bath soap we headed home. I was so tired of carrying him so I really don't any energy last to write an article.
Right now, his rashes was still visible on his face and to his other part of the body. He also needed to complete taking his medicine for ten days. Hopefully after ten days those rashes will be gone forever. It's makes my son's face ugly anyway π€¦.
This is all for today and thank you for reading.

I think it's normal for a mother to overreact especially when the health of the child is involved. It's like an innate characteristic of mothers to have a quick response to whatever urges involve the child. It's better to go to someone who knows better than listen only to what the people say, just because a lot believes in something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Prevention is better than cure. I hope your baby recovers fast β€ you're such an ideal mother.
