Viral Infection = High Fever

E was down with yo yo fever for the past few days. Only today afternoon after our second visit to KK that she finally got over the yo yo fever. Apparently after urine tests, blood tests that all showed negative, they conclude that its a viral infection that caused the fever to yo yo up and down.

Especially worrying part is with her taking her panadol the fever could still hit a high of 40.5 and that was scary for me. The surprise that came out of it was that we realised how resilent E can be and how as parents we turned out to be. The exceptionals were the fact that how family support rallied behind us to assist, help, doing whatever everyone can. i was especially appreciative of the fact that my grandma was all giving all the suggestions (traditional) but I think I fully appreciate all the things done so as to get the fever down. I was pissed of with the doc at the neighbourhoodthat we first went, he said sore throat only although we told him that she had an eariler throat infection. Hai, should have went to KK first thing when her fever hit the 38.5 mark.
But once it hit 39, it was KKH at 9.30pm. We were there till 2am where they did a urine test and twice a urine bag was placed and twice it did not collect well until the doc managed to take a sample from the second not so well collected urine then it showed negative and the doc cleared her to go home with panadol and antibiotic and deduce it to be a viral infection.Third night, t did not go down we went back again this time at to go back again and this time they did a blood test and it showed negative but each time we went there, we went through passage 11 where all the emergency cases was sent for immediate care. So anyhow, she is better now, with her fever subsiding with constant sponging as well as monitoring her temperature and having her take her medication, all she can is to fight the infection the best she can. From the current status of it, I think she is winning the battle.
