High Fever

Baby cried for the whole night. He was having a high fever. I sponge him with ice-bag, and gave him a 2.5ml of antipyretic every four hours intervals since last night eight o'clock.

He was coming down a bit in temperature after having the antipyretic and sponging, but, he would wake up to cry again when the medicine was about to no effect.

Our last woke up was four o'clock in the morning. I was too tired and fell a sleep after the last fed of antipyretic. I rouse up suddenly from a deep sleep at about seven o'clock in the morning.

Baby was as hot as a "FIREBALL". I couldn't wait and jumped up from the bed. I should bring him to the clinic for a stronger antipyretic and of course to find out the course of having such a fever.

Dr came and started to examine his patient at about 08:10. We were at the queue of seven. Dr said that baby having 39.6 in temperature and had an infection on his throat. Antibiotic was given.
I have to be more be careful next time when I give him french fried and cookies. I do make sure myself give him plenty of water.
