It's been 4 Days since our Doctor's visit and Paul's enormous bump had subsided. Apparently the anti-biotics which the Doctor prescribed had worked it's magic. The bump had gather all it's pus and in the middle of the night, exploded like some active volcano and out ozzed the pus leaving behind an open wound. Even on Day 4, it is still slowly ozzing out more pus. Thank God that when it explode, the pus didn't splattered all over me !
Thus during this entire period, my daily chore is to nag at him, ensure that he take his anti-biotics twice a day and making sure that he washes his head twice a day so that the dried pus and residue will be washed away as well. The important thing is to keep the wound clean and not let him walk around with a horrifying and disgusting patch of dried pus on the back of his head. I don't want any child to scream in fear or any old folks to faint in disgust. Thus beside being a broken recorder, I am also his nurse.
Oh yes, HIS nurse ! Apparently the shampoo doesn't remove the pus and regardless of how hard Paul scrub the area, there are still some harden pus remained. What happened is that the pus harden and solidified thus causes the hair around the wound to stick together like some gel up hair. Believe me, it is gross, disgusting and definately yuckie ! Definately not for the faint or weak heart.
After he dried his hair, I will wet the paper towels with hydrogen peroxide and proceed to remove the "unwashable" pus (which is plenty) and clean the wound - with my bare hands ! Personally I feel that it is important to disinfect the wound and keep it as clean as possible so that the scalp and the wound is clean and germ-free thus it can heal. So who else is there to do the dirty work - Me, Yours Truely ! And hey, if this is not true love, I don't know what else is.... Hahahahah
Currently He is recovering on day by day basis and the pain is reducing to it's minimal which is a good sign. The side effect of the anti-biotics is, he need to stay away from the sun as the anti-biotics causes the skin to be more sensitive to sunlight and also sweating doesn't help the recovery of the wound either.
I have documented Paul's growing bump/pus, from the initial stage of the pus gathering and formed 3 "evil eyes" (cause there was 3 pus sticking out just like any acne/white head) till it gather and form a giantic ball, till it exploded and left behind an angry open wound which I am still cleaning daily.
Check out the pictures ... but hey I have to remind you again, if you have a weak stomach, it's best that you skip the pictures. To me, it's kind of like a Discovery Health channel coming alive !
