He wasn't his usual active self in the morning. He was breathing very hard, I think he has blocked nose as he breathed through his mouth. He was also having runny nose. He was quite tired and took a nap before noon (which was not the norm). Of course, he's extra clingy and cranky.
He ate mee suah for lunch (instead of rice). Luckily he was eating and drinking well. When he was taking his afternoon nap, I checked his temperature and it was 40.5ºC. He's never had such a high fever before so I was very worried. I quickly stripped him and wrapped him with a semi-wet towel. He really didn't like it and kept crying. Moreover his sleep was disturbed. I did a few rounds of that and put in another suppository (it was less than 6 hours before the previous insert). Then I let him continue his nap. I was relieved when his temperature was slowly dropping.
We brought him to see the paediatrician just now. Doctor said he's got ear infection. He was given antibiotics, flu medicine and ear drops. He wasn't very cooperative during the visit. Sigh... he's started to fear the doctor.
Just after 4 hours of administering the suppository, his fever has started to come back again. I gave him all the medicine (including paracetamol) and he's fast asleep now. I know I won't be able to sleep well tonight as I need to monitor his temperature. Hope his fever will subside soon or at least not reach 39ºC. It's no fun to spend Mother's Day with a sick and cranky child.
Here I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all mothers a very very
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!

Tracy, he got the inf from the throat (it was a bit red). Doc said some kids r prone to ear inf becoz of the way the throat n ear r connected. Nothing we can do abt it.
