Viral fever

Dom was down with a viral fever the past few days. This was how it progressed.

14 May Thursday - Evening, I noticed he felt warmer than usual. Temperature was 37.3C, which I thought was quite normal, so left it at that.

15 May Friday - Morning, dropped him off at MIL's, asked her to monitor. By late afternoon, she said he was running a temperature of about 37.6oC. Husband brought him to the clinic around noon. Was diagnosed with viral fever that would last about 3 days, to be followed by an outbreak of rashes. Prescribed antibiotics and fever medicine.

To date - been monitoring boy's temperature regularly and giving him his meds. His fever ended on Saturday. The worst thing of all has been his night-time sleep. Boy would stir at about 2am, then once every hourly till about 6am - crying, fussing, rolling about in bed. The maid reported that after awhile he would settle down and sleep. Till he finally awoke for the day. And he'd usually have a bad morning because, I suspect, his sleep was so restless. It's already happened for 3 nights, and we are all tired out by it. Poor boy. Can only hope his sleep gets better once he stops all meds completely. His appetite had suffered, once again hopefully will be regained when he stops his meds.
