Hi!
My best friend's baby will be 1 year old next month. She's got fever on-off for one week already. She's in indonesia. Their doctor said it's caused by virus and bactery. But quite worrying it hasn't cured yet. The mother considers to come here. Any Mommy had this case before? Any PD to recommend? KKH or SGH or else?

Many thanks in advance :wong19:

for foreign patients, sgh n kkh may cost even more than pte hospitals. Pte PDs here r seeing alot of foreign patients. U can ask your friend to bring bb here to PDs to see but mayb get her to take note of the fever spikes as in the time of spike n temp. Take note of them as they may b useful. If it's high spike they may need to take blood only when the spike comes so they can check for any bactetia growth.

I just called Thomson medical center, they gave recommendation for some PDs. But I found many negative input about those PDs and even the TMC..What do you think? I never seen any doctors there before.

Candy_Ian, I read your post about Dr. Ngiam Thye Eng from SBCC Gleaneagle (22/07/09). I read some other positive inputs about him in other forum too. Do you still see him for your son? Seeing my friend's baby, do you think Dr.Ngiam is suitable for her? How much the consultation fee?

Considering my friend will need a place to stay in sgp, Gleaneagle has quite ok location, has service apt nearby.

Hi Clover,

Maybe you can look for Dr Low Kah Tzay, he's a pd previously located at TMC and NUH. And now he has got his own clinic at Paragon Medical Suite named Anson International Paediatric & Child Development Clinic. My girl previously also has the same issue and he's quite good and patient. You can visit this link Anson International Paediatric & Child Development Clinic to take a look, and call 68362802 for appt. If not the waiting time is very long as they will only see patients with appts 1st.

Hi! a bit late to update..so sorry..

First pediatrician gave her baby both antibiotics for bacteria and virus cause he didn't know exactly which one caused the fever. CRAZY! Instead of fever her baby also couldn't breathe conveniently so they tried to see a TNT doctor. Thanks to him that he found out there a part of nose swollen because of cold the baby had. Soon she got better after this doctor treatment and he even suggested my friend to see Singapore pediatrician to check which antibiotic suitable for her baby (cos some baby get allergic to some kind of antibiotics). She has not decide yet which doctor she will see, but is considering one of your references. Many thanks, Mommies :tlaugh:
