What went wrong again??? Sophie started having muddy stools 3 times a day. Although it beats having hard, pallet-like stools, it affected her mood as she felt bouts of wind in her tummy. I repeated whatever I did the last time but nothing worked. I took her back to Dr Koh, who told me to continue what I was doing. I insisted more to be done, so he suggested sending her stools to the lab.
I put Sophie in my parents' care and rushed to Mt Alvenia with her stool sample. The results came back negative on rotavirus and culture. So, it meant that nothing was wrong with her stools... so what the hell was wrong? Why was she having diarrhea? Dr Koh told me not to see him, just monitor the situation if Sophie looked alert and well. Huh????
Out of desperation, I took Sophie to see a TCM sinseh. The lady physician said that Sophie has weak stomach and spleen, and send us back with some mysterious powder in packets. She said Sophie's diarrhea would stop in 2 days. Wah, such confidence...
The next day, Sophie's stools were perfect. It has been quite good since then. I am losing confidence in western medicine...
