Today is the 6th day. Xiang had fever at 6am again but it was much better compared to previous nights, measured at 28.3 DegC. Previous nights, he had fever >39.5 DegC which I had to wake him up, stuffed medicine in his buttock and wiped his body.
He's usually ok through out the day, with no signs of fever, but I still consistently give him the fever medicine. When it comes to night time, (sometimes 12am or 2 am), he'll start to have cold hands & feet. Not long after that, he'll had high fever. Usually took 2 hours before the fever goes away.
I was worried yesterday evening as his body has red spots all over. Rushed to the specialist and he said it's most probably due to allergy of medicine. Anyway, did a blood test yesterday and the result was ok. The dr said his fever is due to his throat infection.
I did not dare to look when the dr. took his blood as he inserted a long needle on top of his hand. It took around 7 ~ 8 minutes to took enough blood for the test! He was crying of course, but stop for awhile when I gave him Ribena jelly sweets.
I've started work today (can't afford to take anymore leaves). He is supposed to attend his first day in kindergarten tomorrow. I'm not sure whether I should let him go. He's usually OK in the morning. Guess I'll see whether he'll have fever again tonight lor.
