Last Friday night was quite horror some. It was almost half past eleven and we were about to sleep. Me and my mom were chatting up on old stuff and Veeran and Kunhunni were off to sleep. Our 4 month old little guy was put to sleep under a dim light.
Once we reached the bed room we saw the little guy sleeping yet quite disturbed. He was rubbing his ears as if due to a mosquito bite. I switched on the light to apply baby lotion to soothe the irritation. But shockingly it was not a single mosquito bite, but appeared as if a swarm of mosquitoes had bitten him.
His ears had turned red and big. Forehead had a big red lump and hives all over the body. Also rashes and raised skin throughout the little guy. He was looking like a different person altogether. It was building up while we were watching. I was so frightened and we did not know what to do.
I woke Veeran up. When he saw he realised it was serious and so we rushed to the emergency wing of the nearest hospital. The nurse checked his blood pressure, heart rate and all. And we waited for the doctor. It appeared as if he is taking too long to come, thanks to our anxiety.
Once the doctor came, he checked him and said some allergic reaction has taken place. He asked if the baby is taking the feed properly. I said yes and then he gave a dose of an antihistamine. Soon our little one started recovering fast. And we returned home by half past midnight. For us, doctor appeared none less than an angel.
There is no profession more serene and dedicated than that of a physician. And it seems they never complain of lost sleep or high work pressure. Doctor profession is far more strenuous than any other one, for they are answerable for a life than a machine.
Every time I make a visit to a doctor, all the anxieties and fear within gets burst up when she says it is all normal. For me doctors are the real angels on earth! Now I know why every parent wishes to have a doctor in the family :-).
