High fever again

Baby was down with high fever again a day after celebrating her 2nd Birthday.

This has been the second high fever attack since December.

She woke up with a temperature of 38c. I gave her a dose of 3.5ml Paracetamol before sending her off to the baby sitter. Baby recovered and everything went well until around 6:00pm. Baby sitter called me while i am on my way home from work. Baby was crying loudly and was attack by high fever again. When i reached the baby sitter's house, baby was standing in front of the door waiting for me. Her face is burning red hot. I took her temperature and it's 40c! I quickly gave her a dose of Veron.

Brought her to the doctor to double check baby's situation as we were to travelle back to Johor on Tuesday.

The dosage of Paracetamol was increased to 4ml as advised by the doctor. One dosage was given to baby every 4 hours to control her fever. This continued for 2 full days. Baby seems to be recovered on Thursday. However, her temperature rises to 37.7c again on Thursday afternoon. A dose of Paracetamol was given. She recovered and feverish again on Friday afternoon with slight cough and running nose. She even throw up when i feed her medicine.

I was panicked. We canceled all our Chinese New Year gathering  and drive around the town to find a clinic. I am worried that baby might be down with Denggi or even worst H1N1. We found a clicnic that opens for business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. It was packed with patients. I am not sure how long i had waiting for baby's turn. The doctor didn't suspect any Denggi or H1N1. He just listen to her lungs and check her temperature. He didn't even mind to open baby's mouth to check whether there's any ulcer in baby's mouth when baby felt reluctant to open her mouth. I really doubt the doctors ability.

The next day, baby seems to be a bit better. I can't wait to go back home to KL!

Baby thrown up one more time throughout  the journey home. Luckily her fever didn't attacked anymore.

Hope that baby can be strong and healthy soon!
