Fever......High Fever!!

After "teething" Next morning when mummy left for work, baby was still ok no temperature and as usual active zooming around with the walker, screaming, laughing, clapping!!! Daddy has work at 3pm and mummy only get off at 5.30pm, i checked with daddy if Ethan was ok before he left to work and he said like yesterday alittle hot..and when i went home his temperature was arond 38.0 - 38.5!! SUPEN SUPIAN! you DING DONG! yesterday was 37!!!!!Oh Gosh! its Saturday, alot of clinics will not be open and Ripas will be a loooooooong wait! my choices remain JPMC or Lee Clinic! I do not wanna bring Ethan to JPMC because i know they will ask me to continue feeding the Panadol which i gave yesterday and not much effective (if its good then will turun la the fever) so i chose Lee Clinic and attended by Dr. Erin (daddy's colleague's wife) She is ok but not a "banyak" reaction type haha like a tree! Baby's temperature was still 38.++ and she said is quite high, also baby's tonsils were swollen, she recommended to put the ubat into baby's bumbum and that it will last for 8 hrs, next feeding of the fever medicine will be at 3am! At the counter the lady told me to feed the antibiotic when i get home and then at 3am next feed together with the fever one, also she gave me a free sample of "Anmum" milk powder, she said is good cos got something that is good for the brain's development and blah blah blah! i tot is not advisable to mix the milk powder and to my surprise, she said we can maybe day time feed Enfalac and night time Anmum?? Can kan? Hm..i wonder does Lee Clinic has some shares in Anmum's co or what!

We left the clinic around 6ish and i went to Soon Lee for awhile to buy Ethan's Enfalac and saw the Anmum that was given, exactly same size cost $11.++! it's not cheap ae. We went home, Ethan was still like normal playing and screaming...after the antibiotic he was still playing but his eyes were half moon shape keke...but still not wanting to sleep! sleep awhile wake up....and cry cry cry then play, laugh like normal also cranky! He closed his eyes but still playing haha...

Daddy came home 11pm, Ethan was still 38++....actually i was changing and asked Emma to packed baby's stuff we gotta go to emergency! but later not jadi again, daddy said we gotta sponge him, so Emma kept wiping him and Janet popo & Peter Kung kung came over around 12smtg am to see Ethan, as usual Dr. Lo ( our family doctor) hahaha....

Janet popo & Peter kungkung left around 2am, we taught baby's temperature is dropping but scary it actually rose! 40.3!!! Gosh! so we went to the emergency around 3smtg am!!! RIPAS!! i never like RIPAS because of the slow services and the so call emergency!! Thank god! not that many people that night, daddy dropped us down first and i quickly ran to the counter and guess what, have to register outside first (emergency wo!) so i went and filled up the form and my writing was like drawing "fu" (ghost draw fu) hahaha and the registration counter was empty!! actually CLOSED!!!! so i went to the nurse and she checked Ethan straight away because i was like "what kinda emergency is this! the registrar was empty and yet still need to register and gave the form to hantu ah! my baby is having high fever now, can you ask the doctor to see him first! then the nurse checked and she said from her experience baby is ok cos he is still very active and playing! True also he was like normal and active pulang at 3smtg am ah!! after the nurse, we went in to the room to see the doctor (was not Ethan's turn but i just knock and go in, emergency kali ah! no patient in the door anyways!), doctor said baby is fine same as what the nurse said (so i think the nurse can be doctor now), then the doctor asked the time baby last had his medicine which was the bumbum one and the antibiotic then i found out that the bumbum ubat can last until maybe 6 hrs only, should feed medicine 2 hrs ago!! no wonder the fever naik! LEE CLINIC!! I will burn the clinic if anything happen to my precious!

stay cool fever is very commom... my son oso kena once 40.5 wen go emergency yes still have to fill in the form... duh!! do the registration first only the dr will attend to u!
fyi last time my son in hosp 5days coz of high fever n middle of the nite at 3+ too n hes there walking up n down .... we r damn tired n he run here n there non stop la..
nowadays children will not sit still even when they have high fever!
ei u must understand even if no fever 5m ago doesnt mean it will not go up.. it can go up very high just within dat 5m... so its not ur husband fault hahaha..
the suppository (bum2 med) usually can last 6hours but it depends on ur child age + weight
how much panadol to give depends on their weight n usually last us 3hours onli la... usually after 3hours my child fever comes back but still have to wait...
from ur article i can feel ur frustration n worriness hahaha
