7.25am
It's been quite a while that I've had to blog of Ash having fever. Well, she's down with again. It started yesterday afternoon after we got home from GUG. It was a low grade fever of 37.5-38.1 throughout the afteroon and then all of a sudden at 6.30pm, it rose rapidly from 37.9 to 39.1 in a span of 45 mins. So much so that she threw up her partially digested lunch. Despite this, she managed to say she felt better after throwing up. With a dose of Brufen, her fever gradually came back down to a low grade range again. She was also able to play as though nothing happened. She fell asleep at around 9.30pm in the hall, and so that's where we all spent the night.
This morning, it started rising again from the 36.7 to 38.2 by 6.15am. It took an hour before the effect of paracetamol set in. Last check, her temperature was down to 37.6.
Our worry now is HFMD. The last time she was down with HFMD, it started the same way, low grade fever and then a sudden spiking fever. I hope it's not HFMD and it is just some viral fever or food poisoning considering that her vomitted lunch was only half digested after 7 hours. But as at 10 April, there have been 4 cases reported at Pat's, 3 from infant care and 1 from the toddler class. Although Ash is in playgroup, when it comes to playtime, both the toddler and playgroup classes play in same area. According to the MOH website, HFMD peaked at 892 cases as at 5 Apr.
4.25pm
Fever has been rollercoastering. Everything was fine when she woke at around 9.30am. Then all of a suddden, slightly after 10am, her temperature hit 38.2. It continued to rise by another degree and by around 11am, it has hit 39.2 despite having administered paracetamol an hour ago. So we had to resort to Brufen, her temperature rose to 39.6 before it started coming down. By noon, she was back to her cheerful self and even agreed to go downstairs for a walk and eat her lunch of plain porridge and fish. She sweated quite bit, which we thought was good....to sweat the heat out. Back upstairs, she finished off a bowl of papaya and spent the early afternoon reading and chatting with Viv.
At around 3pm, she fell asleep but then her temperature started to rise again to 37.7, hitting 38.0. It is now back to 37.5...1/2 hour after paracetamol. Hopefully, this is a sign that her fever is starting to break.
