I was Sick!!

This is the first time that i had a HIGH Fever and it really stressed out both daddy n mummy.. It all started on 3 Nov evening time where mummy felt that i was pretty warm.. So mummy measured my temperature and the thermometer shows 38.4 degree. Then she gave me paracetamol and measured again ard 9pm+, the temperature still remains the same. So daddy was telling mummy if the temperature shoot up to 39 degree, they will bring me to see a GP cause most of the PD clinic are closed at night.


So daddy went out to meet his friends for kopi session and mummy monitoring me at home.. At ard 1am, mummy measured my temperature and it really shows 39 degree. So panic mummy quickly call daddy to come home and bring me to 24hr clinic. The GP said might be a viral infection cause i have no cough nor flu.. So he prescribe Nurofen and panadol syrup for me and asked mummy to sponge me and stand by a memo if in need to A&E.. Wow, so kiasu the GP.. U know the total no. of hours we spend in the clinic is 2 hours and for your info, there were only 4 patients ahead of us.. So by the time daddy n mummy settled me to sleep, it was already 4am..

Daddy n mummy thought my fever have subsided cause on 4 Nov (sun) morning, i was quite active and looks happy although my temperature did go down a bit to 38+ degree. So they relief a bit and went for their breakfast without me.
Who knows that when they are back from their breakfast, i started to get grouchy and fever was ard 39 degree. So they sponge me on and off and continue to monitor.. For the next half day, my fever still remains ard 39 degree. So daddy n mummy was saying that probably will need to visit PD on monday morning to check again. At around 10pm when daddy back from his socceer session, he measured my temperature and to his surprise, my temperature went up to 40.1 degree!!! Daddy said mummy didn't monitor me, but when 9pm+ my temp is still ard 39 degree. So worried daddy n mummy was wondering whether need to go down again to the GP where we visited yesterday night? So mummy asked daddy to call and check with the nurse. The nurse told daddy that normally the temperature will shoot up at night and ask daddy to sponge me OFTEN in order to bring down the temperature. So daddy, mummy and aunty annie constantly sponge me until my temperature comes down. Both daddy n mummy didnt get to sleep cause they woke up every 1 to 2 hour to check, giving medicine and sponge me.. Luckily after non-stop of sponging, my temperature comes down to 38+ degree.

On 5 Nov (mon) morning, my temperature still remains at ard 38+, so daddy n mummy decided to bring me to PD. The nurse asked when is the fever started and she said since it is 3 days already, she will do a urine test to check whether there is urine infection and a blood test to check the cause of fever. U may wondering how to collect my urine right? The nurse stick a plastic bag on me. But i only managed to pee a little bit and luckily the amount was enough for the nurse to do the test. The test shows that i do not have infection and it was great.

As for the blood test, they poked at the tip of my little finger and squeeze out the blood.. I only cry a few seconds cause there was not much pain :) As for the blood test, it shows that my fever is due to viral infection (caught these viruses in the air), so PD said continue to monitor me and i will be having rashes the next few days for about 4 - 5 days. When rashes is out, fever should be down and flat.. Daddy n mummy also learnt some fact about fever from the PD..

I am back to myself again.. Look at my smile :-) But i am also passing watery stool on n off.. Luckily the watery stool only lasted for abt 3 days.


I started to have rashes at my abdomen as well as face.. Luckily PD told us, otherwise mummy will get shocked again.. I am playing with the mini Japanese pumpkin where mummy bought. Hurray, fever has gone!
