im not particularly sure of a layman's term for G6PD.
G6PD is actually an enzyme, something that hastens a process in our body. it hastens conversion of carbo to energy. it also protects red blood cells from  being easily destroyed.In its absence, red blood cells are easily destroyed such that one may be noticed to be pale. too much rbc destruction leaves much wastes, causing the urine to be tea-colored and the skin and eyes yellow (jaundice)
The attacks are usually trigerred b stress and infection
Treatment of attacks, transfusion and steroids

yup, sobrang supportive nga hubby ko and i think it really helps. If only i can afford not to work kaya lang i have too din para ok future ng baby namin. well, i think we would have to live with this separation anxiety.

i see to it that i always carry his pix and try calling on the phone so i can hear his voice. hirap no. my hubby once told me na sa house ka na lang kaya mag work para kasama mo lagi si baby. kung pwede nga lang...

you could try eliminate causes kung san sya allergic. check mo muna the food that ur baby eats. eliminate yung may egg, chicken or seafoods one at a time and see when rashes appear. hirap lang pag multiple allergies niya

actually skin asthma as i know it, is the common term we use lang for allergies. kasi skin lesions usually ang manifestations ng allergy. commonly, allergies are due to exposure to certain substances. sa start parang sort of elimination ang cause. there's one test that dermatologists do - yung skin patch test. pero im not sure if they do it on babies. the thing is they try small amounts of different substances and stick these patches on your back. they'll check it after 24 hrs and see to which you react. better see a derma na lang din.

i'm actually an internist, not a pedia but i see such cases during my training
