Wait and See....

Now, am just literally waiting.... waiting to see if S2's temperature drops.

His fever started on Thursday evening with a high of 39 deg C. (read previous post) Next day, it was a more manageable level at the mid 38s, with another peak of 39 deg C in the evening. At that point, I decided to take him to see the doctor over at the SOS clinic to have a check of his throat (since he was sorta coughing too). As the paediatrician was still there, I opted to see him instead of the resident GP. 

S2's chest is clear. No wheezing, which is good news. But his nose was pretty sore and stuffed up. Paediatrician  said that it's most likely a viral infection, and we'll just have to wait it out. He  did ask all the pertinent question with regards to dengue incidences among friends/neighbours etc, as this disease is on the rise now due to the rainy season. So, I need to be vigilant, and constantly check S2's temperature. Should he still have fever after 3 full days,he'll need to go in for a blood test. So far, the last dose of panadol was at 2 pm yesterday... and I've not given anything since then. His temperature has been hovering below 38 deg C. Normally, I don't give meds to my kids if their temperature does not rise above 38 deg C.  So will see how he is later today. If the temperature rise again, it's off to the clinic for a poke! 

But I'm quite optimistic that he is recovering from the flu bug as he's pretty active (active enough to use the cue to whack his kor-kor, and then engage in some kind of fight!), chatty and eats quite well too. 

So....WAIT and SEE lor...

RE S2's Allergies..... I knew S2 was allergic to certain foods from young. I just didn't know what foods. He would have periods of wheezing triggered by something he ate...but because we eat all sorts of foods, we really couldn't pinpoint what foods. This was AFTER he eats what we eat. Didn't really have this problem when he was on milk or baby foods.  I knew it was from foods, because after about a day (after the foods have been digested and purged from the body), his wheeze will stop automatically. So far, his allergies can be considered as quite mild...not the rashes kind nor the airways totally blocked kind...which is a relief. 

I did take him to a conventional Allergy doctor to have him checked out (to test for allergens using the prick test...) but as he was on medication then, the results will not be accurate, thus this was not done. Took him to the Bio-Resonance test clinic on Friday because I've always wanted to have him checked out, and since he was off-school, and an appointment slot was available.
