Fever - Day 2

Ash was running a fever thru the night. Highest temperature was 38.2 C at 1.20am. Viv and I kept watch over her till about 4am when her temperature was down to 36.9 C.
Fever was back up to 37.8 C by 8am and it maintained around this temperature till noon when it got into the 38 C range and looked to be on a upward trend. Administered Brufen. In between, we brought her to see Dr. Vanessa and was told since there were no obvious symptoms, her fever was quite likely to be viral and would burn itself out in 2-3 days, but we were adviced to keep a look out for rashes, signs of dengue.
Despite all these, Ash was fairly cheerful and managed to have some cereal for breakfast, several slices of water-melon, 3/4 bowl of porridge for lunch and even some Ben & Jerry's ice-cream !
