ENT Visit at Mount Elizabeth

Monday, September 14, 2009

Caden has been very cranky last night. He cried a few times maybe because his nose is blocked and he is uncomfortable about it. I woke up a few times and at 2 plus in the morning, I decided to take child care leave instead of my mum.My mum suggested to go visit a ENT specialist as he is always digging his ear and have been having flu very often. I called Doc Ong to recommend a ENT specialist who also sees toddler like Caden. So I got the contact of Doc Kevin Soh at Mount E. Made an appt for 11 am and brought Caden down.When we arrived there, the nurse prepared me for some tools they will be using on Caden. So the Doc checked on Caden's ear and found that his ear is full of wax and needed to be cleared off as it is affecting his hearing. And Doc will also want to look at the ear drum so as to make sure his ear is fine. Caden will be on ear drops for a week and go back for ear wax removal on next tues. After that, the doc checked on Caden's nose and throat using the nasal endoscopy. Caden cried so terribly as he felt uncomfortable and disliked being held down by people. I had to hold his head, Tita hold his hand and the nurse hold his leg. Poor baby...According to the doc, his throat is fine but his nose wall is a little thicker than others thus the frequent nose block. However, its still not too bad now. Will have to see how he will be when he grows up. He was given 2 bottles of syrup Dhatifen (allergy of ear, nose and throat - something like tonic) and 1 bottle of ear drop.
Syrup Dhatifen = $20
Ear Drop = $15
Consultation = $80
Tympanometry = $50
Nasal Endoscopy = $180
Total with GST = $369.15
Ease of mind = Priceless
Lets hope that Caden gets well soon and his ear will be cleared of irritating ear wax soon.
At night, we had a simple birthday celebration for Dear Dear. We ordered some stir-fry stuff like Hor Fun, Yee Mian, Fried Rice and 2 pizza back for dinner. At night, Dear Dear was presented with his favourite 1KG mango cake, bought from the yummy Le Cafe Pastry. Caden enjoy his cake totally.
