Little Nat’s Visit to the Doctor

Took Natalie to the doctor today had to take an urgent child care leave. Her eye’s were getting swollen and red dots appeared around her left eye and seem to be spreading to her right eye. Her right nose looked like it has a sore on it which could be from her scratching, which she has a habit of doing. The missus was very worried about her little girl wanted to sent her down yesterday but I told her to wait and see. It got worst so made an urgent appointment with the doctor. Luckily there was a slot else we would have to go to another doctor.

The doctor took one look at her and told me her nose looks like {some fancy medical term which I can’t pronounce and probably can’t spell} but it was a viral infection that much I gather and it seems it’s likely to have caused both the nose and eyes and the doctor mention sometimes it can spread to the body. It can be contagious and the doctor did warn to keep Nigel away from his sister for a day or 2 at least to avoid saliva contact.

We got some medication cream for her, 2 different types since 1 was near the eye doctor recommended a cream that will not hurt the eye in the event it accidentally goes in and another for the nose. Hopefully all will be well in a couple of days. Poor little girl was upset the last few nights maybe because of the irritation of the infection.
