Princess is Sick

Princess fell sick when we came back from HK. Flu and cough which alot of pp say it's due to the bad HK weather. I have to agree. She recovered but who knows, she had fever last Sat.

It was hovering ard 37.4 - 37.8... so we decided not to bring her to A&E since all PDs are closed on Sat's afternoon. However, at nite, it got worse. It went up to 38.7!!!! We only gave her Paracetamol as we dont have Ibuprofen at home. We were worried but didnt panic at first. But on Sunday nite, her temperature hit 39.7 degree!!! It really freaked me out. I feel so helpless has a parent. We sponged her down but she didnt like it as she wanted to sleep. She was burning and i kept playing all those horror stories abt kids have side effects from high fever. I couldnt sleep at all that nite as i keep waking her up to check her temperature. First time i feel so helpless being a mother :(

I took childcare leave on Mon and rushed her to see a PD first thing in the morn. Turned out there's a virus going ard. (so all parents be aware) and she had throat infection. Since the fever has been there for a while, Doc decided to give her anti-biotic but warned tt it may gives her Diarrhea. Boy, was she right. Princess LS like 5 -6 times a day and even shit at nite. Her bum became so red tt she cried when we changed her. Gosh, heart-pained! After 3 days, we decided to stop the antibiotics.
Keeping my fingers crossed now tt she will recover this weekend... pray...

Poor girl, and poor mummy. Hope she's better over the weekends. Don't worry, once she gets better, she will become stronger.
