41 degrees celsius

han suffered from bad tonsillitis & a burning fever of 41 degrees celsius last week! i thought it was just the common viral fever he normally gets & have been inserting suppository (paracetamol 125mg) into him every 4 hours but his fever hardly subsided. ah kong & ah ma did cold compress on him while we were at work & that didn't help much.

about 9pm last thursday night, hubs & i rushed him to the clinic. doc was very surprised by his high temperature, immediately checked his throat & confirmed it as inflamed tonsils. nurse was asked to insert a double dose of suppository (paracetamol 250mg) into him right away. doc asked us if we'd a wet towel so that we can keep him cool on our way home. she was afraid that the extreme heat in his body could cause fits. doc also prescribed han with 5 types of medication, 1 being the antibiotic.

the moment we reached home, upon doc's advise, we gave him his medicated syrups which made him cry inconsolably, then took off all his clothes, got a big damp towel to cover him & a bigger but dry towel on top of the wet one ~ this lasted til 1am before his body temperature reduced to almost room temperature. lil han slept like he has never slept in days after that. poor baby!

a recovering & happier han ~ playfully kicking a basketball

what an ordeal we all went through! i thank GOD for protecting him...
