Christmas this year was very meaningful but not in good way.
Richie was sick on christmas eve, he had fever about 37.8 deg C then mommy brought him to see the GP.
First, the GP suspected that he's teething. 'Cos his gum had white thingy and the stool was loose and mild coughing.
He just gave leftose and brufen to reduce the gum swelling and told mommy that the fever will go away tomorrow.
But, it didn't seem to be the way we expected.
His fever was up and down, ranging from 38.1 to 37.6 and it happened almost every 3 hour.
Mommy suspected it couldn't be teething alone, cos mommy browsed some info in the internet.
Teething fever was last for 1 night only and it's mild fever.
Since, Christmas day was fall on Saturday, and the GP 's closed on Public Holiday and Sunday, mommy had no choice except monitored the fever.
Fortunately, the fever was gone on 26th December which is on Sunday.
But still, he didn't have much appetite either meals or milk and he's so cranky on the day and night.
Today, mommy brought him again to GP, and the GP said, it could be viral infection not only teething.
And he gave antihistamine medicine to reduce the cough and clear the airway in the nose.
The medicine has slight codein which made him sleepy. But it's good, at least he could sleep well undisturbed by his coughing.
Get well soon boy ! so mommy can look forward for New Year with joy and peace of mind
