High Fever
Instead of feeding him only twice to settle down his fever like he normally needs after his immunization jab, now he needs a total of 2 days of gulping down parasetamol! Goodness.
This fever starts crawling back again after each dosage had worn off, so stubborn!
Jien is a smiley baby but when it comes to medicine, he is weak! He would shriek and struggle and refuse to open his mouth. We even almost choked him at one point.
Just this morning around 4am, out of sudden the temperature shot up to 40 deg C. We rushed him to hospital after inserting Voltaren. Good that we went back to Klang yesterday and SIL passed us some of it. Goodness, within half an hour, the temperature went down drastically. Thank God!
Weird thing is, till now the doctors (we consulted 2 actually) can't tell us what is the source of the fever. No sign of infection on the ears or throat. No rashes (no! I don't want to see one!). Baby is still active and smiling at the doctors. He even pulled his stunts by jacking up his buttock and crawled to show to the doctor that he is well, FINE. Now, could this be the sign of TEETHING? Maybe some of you mothers out there could testify to this and tell me please?
Ok, I think I need a nap now. So sleepy and drowsy.

Frankly...I wouldn't have a clue. To me, I just try my best to make lil bub comfy..and give heaps of water. You take care ok..coz...mums need strength to take of sicky bubs.
Could be teething, ya, like you said. Could be just that the weather's been warm and whacky lately, make sure you feed him lots of water, very important.
If he's still cheerful and gungho, I wouldn't worry too much about it :) . Fevers come and go with kids, most times it's not a big deal.
You take care of yourself, huh, mommy!!
Try also to sponge him every 10mins after feeding him his fever medication. Keep sponging until the temperature goes down. and keep giving him the fever syrup every 4 hours and diligently do this. I used these steps and it worked for my children. Hope it works for Jien...Teething pun might be the reason...
Poor Jien, hope he get well soon. When baby is sick especially with high temp, mummy is the one having the sleepless night. You take care as well huh.
