My daughter and I walked out from the clinic. With a very puzzled look, the six year old asked me, "Mommy, I never mention of tummy ache, why did the doctor gave me tamiflu?".
Hmmm... I found it funny. Now as I'm typing this I'm not sure whether you do too.
Anyway, in that case I'll share our experience with tamiflu. Within hours, many well meaning friends warned me on the... I can't find an apt word for this. Maybe scary? They mentioned that reported side effect include serious hallucination, depression, deliriousness, etc.
I quickly google it. And true, many posts popped up. One lady even described it as five day of being mad. But a few mentioned too that the medicine is very effective.
Hubby and I decided to proceed. We believe that the do won't prescribe it if it's not safe.
So, none of the above encountered, many thanks to Him. But also no significant improvement observed.
Of course, being the wishy washy me, I still think that there might be bacterial infection, on top of the viral one. So it could've been worse without tamiflu.
Kindly note, this post was written with only an experience sharing objective. From a mommy to other mommies.

Kids Clinic @ Bishan
Darling daughter recently had nasty bout of high fever (for the first time, she exceeded 40degC). It lasted for 5 days. Friends and family were very supportive, lots of prayers for the poor girl.
A few also questioned the medicine. I know they only meant well. When the fever shot up, she looked very limp and weak, I myself wonder whether I'm doing the best for her. But amazingly I had this thought, that her doc surely has given the best possible treatment.
I came to realize how much I trusted her pediatrician, Dr Oh Meng Choo. She is thorough, even with very long queue outside, accurate, and kind.
The staff are great too. Helpful and friendly.
I am still impressed with thoughtful system implemented in the one pediatrician clinic. It works. Well, not perfectly, but they are indeed efficient.
Three nights in a week, they are open at night. Great help for working mothers!
So there... To all mommies who need a good doc:

PS: For a good doc, I'm willing to wait for an hour or two. So please be prepared. To me, result worth the wait.
PS2: I am also not fond of giving a lot, various, strong medicine. Dr Oh's prescription is normally simple, rarely antibiotic unless necessary.

PS3: She also does an excellent ear piercing for kids. First creamy local anesthesia is applied on the earlobes. Then the piercing is done in swift and comforting manner. Nice!
