6:15AM
- 12:50AM - adminstered paracetamol, temp - 37.5. Slept well.
- 5:40AM - administered paracetamol, temp - 37.5, rising trend.
- And now at 6:15AM, it's 38.2, para should be kicking in about now. Managed to drink 200ml of milk.
Mummy called the KKH's Dial A Nurse and was told that there has been a rise in cases of high fever (viral ?) amongst kids last week.
11:30PM
When I got home this morning from picking por-por from the airport, Ash was looking really lethargic. She just lay there on mummy's chest and refused to touch her milk. So we decided that she needed to see a doctor. But by some amazing stroke of unluckiness, both her regular PDs were not available; Dr. Zainal was away for reservist while Dr. Vanessa was on leave. We did not trust the locum standing in for Dr. Vanessa. Mummy then called Healthway Hougang again and asked if there was another PD around and this time, the nurse said that Dr. Ellen Tan was around (should have told us earlier when we called to make an appt to see Dr. Zainal !!). As I was driving to Hougang Mall, we seemed to get caught in every single traffic light along the way. What was suppsoed to be a 12-15 mins journey, took 20-25mins ! And all the while I was getting really worried as Ash seemed to be even more lethargic, and appeared to be drifting into unconciousness. I kept talking to her and asked mummy to talk to her. As luck would have it, we got stuck behind a moronic driver in the car-park. He seemed to be travelling at 10km/h!!!! We finally got our car-park slot and rushed Ash up to the clinic. Dr. Ellen did the usual checks for fever, HFMD, throat infection etc. She concluded that it was a viral fever and that it would run it's course, not much could be done other than fever management. By then, Ash after crying during the checkup, decided she wanted her milk, so as Dr. Ellen was explaining to us the interval between paracetamol and brufen, I laid Ash on my lap and fed her milk, after that she seemed much better.
-8:10PM - fever rose to 38.9 - admimistered Brufen. By 9:20PM, her fever had come down to 37.5. Last check 36.2 degrees.
