QUOTE(EdEd @ Dec 30 2019, 10:23 AM) Her temp went slightly down last night until midnight . Only went to hospital at 6am. Doctor wasn't too concerned just gave antibiotics It's the influenza season right now so it's better to take necessary precaution. Thanks everyone  I sincerely hope the doctor doesn't simply prescribe antibiotics since it doesn't do much if it's a viral infection. |

QUOTE(EdEd @ Dec 29 2019, 09:13 PM) Hi my 2 yo child had fever ranging 39.5 to 40 degrees and paracetamol (so far given 2 rounds, 6 hr apart doesn't bring the temp down) Sory if my post a bit late to help u.We are thinking if this continues until the 3rd paracetamol round and still the same we want to bring her to a hospital just in case. Meanwhile we are sponging her with room temp wet handkerchief. Anyone done that? Does private hospital allow admission for high fever? Hope to claim insurance but need to be admitted. Anyone have experience with avisena hospital? Get her to shower. Then wear cotton or light fabric material to sleep. But sory no sleep for u.. Must watch her temperature overnite. Avisena Hospital is quite good nowdays. My friend kis got admitted recently bcoz of viral fever also. The room is spacious and overall a good hospital. But where are u staying ? |

Today my child also kena high fever in suspect of high fever, sometimes the staff just don't care, they should have given suppository once we reach there, that's why it's called emergency right? At almost 40degree, defeat the purpose already, we went there 5am almost 6am only they give suppository.
