The Scariest Virus

My poor boy barely recovered from his viral fever last month when it attacked him again on Friday wee hour in the morning! I woke up at 5am only to felt him feverish. Administered Paracetamol, 3ml as per the bottle instruction. His fever did not subside but I could not give more med cos the instruction said 6-hrly. I can only wait and stick the cooling gel on him. He refuse sponging, not sure if it is cos of the cold towel.

Day 1 of his fever. Daddy is pushing him around the house, hoping to get him out of his crankiness

By late afternoon, his fever went up to 39.2 degree, which is the highest so far. I bugged hubby to bring him to see his PD at Parkway Parade (he's on duty at night) but he actually refused!! I was so pissed off with him. End up we went to Kinder Clinic at Sengkang! No medication was prescribed but was asked to give him Brufen and Paracetamol, 2.5ml each at 3-hrly interval. I find it too much but as long as it can bring my baby's temp down, anything is okay.

I realised he is especially weak when he took Brufen. After few times, it no longer have any effect on his extremely high temp. Being the paranoid mom, I decided to bring him to KK Children's A&E on Saturday, 12am!! Not helpful at all.. FAIL BIG TIME!! Next time, I will pay extra to go private hospital..

Today is the 4th day Zach is having his fever. Though it is no longer hovering around 39.8 to 40 degree, it is still fever to me! I stopped Brufen and only gave him Para... hopefully by tomorrow, I don't have to give him any other medication. I feel sick giving him medication, he is so weak and sleep most of the time. He even lose weight. He is so skinny.. I wanna cry!! Must feed him more when he recovers fully.

Day 4 of his fever..happier baby. Must be the ample sleep he is getting. Mommy needs the rest too
