Our Little Darling Fall Sick

08 July 2007

Little Darling has no appetite during dinnertime, he looks very tired and having a bit fever. I worried that he might fall sick so started to monitor his temperature hourly. Temperature was shooting up to 38 deg C when I took at 11:35pm. Daddy called up KKH 24hours clinic but told by the staff nurse that we have to wait for about 4 hours to see a doctor which means the earliest we can see a doctor will be at around 3am! We decided to gave our Little Darling some medicine and bring him to see our pediatrician the next day morning. Temperature was dropped to 37.3 deg C an hour later. I continued to monitor temperature after that. It was maintain at 37.5 deg C.

We brought Little Darling to our pediatrician clinic first thing early in the morning. On the way, his temperature was shooting up to 38.5 deg C. I wiped his body with ice water and put a wet towel on his forehead.

Little Darling was diagnosed that having throat infection. Our pediatrician wanted me to monitor his temperature hourly after taking medicine. Little Darling has no appetite for lunch and dinner, drank very little milk as well. He was extremely tired and sleeping the whole day. Temperatures were subsided after medicine and rose up 4 hours later till next medicine time.

At night, Our Little Darling must felt very uncomfortable because he could not sleep well. He kept flipped left and right and cried many times in the night. Luckily his temperatures was 37.3 deg C when I just taken at 4.10am.
