Fever in children – HEALTH FREAK MOMMY

Sick Week

Posted on November 17, 2018November 19, 2018 by Shireen

This week has been a rough week for me. It first started with Alycia falling sick on Tuesday. She hardly gets fever these days but this time the temperature shot up to 41.3C with chills, a chesty cough and a throbbingly painful migraine that came in waves. The hubs and mil were pressing me (again!)…

After church, I took Uber with the girls to Pavillion to meet the hubs. Our lunch on the first Sunday of this year was at Din Tai Fung, the hubs’ favorite Taiwanese restaurant of all times. In an article published on January 17, 1993, the New York Times rated Din Tai Fung as one of…

On days when I feel like I a minnow at home caring for 3 kids who are unappreciative and disobedient, I could feel myself corroding with regret – for quitting the job that I loved 10 years ago. The job paid me very well, complete with enviable perks and status. It was only when Cass…

As I pulled Cass up from bed yesterday morning, I felt like I was holding a burning log on my bare hands. I asked her if she felt unwell but she said no. She was really looking forward to going to school as she was to receive her trophy for a drawing contest that she won…

After 3 days of vomiting and retching with zilch appetite, Alycia’s appetite is slowly returning today. For 3 days, everyone at home has been eating porridge and vermicelli cooked with minimal oil and meat. According to the paed’s suspicion, Alycia has been attacked by some kind of virus. You know doctors, when they cannot be…

Someone is Under The Weather

….which spells trouble for any mummy! Alycia has been running a high temperature (up to 39.4 degrees Celsius) since Friday evening. What’s worrying this quack doctor mummy is that she shows almost no symptoms, except for a slight phlegmy throat. Alycia is also complaining of dizziness, headache and generally feeling malaise with not much appetite….
