Fevering and Ulcer

Shareese have been down with the fever for 5 days now, and we just bought him to another trip to the doctor this morning. The doctor said if the fever goes on for more than 2 days, it might be viral and we have to start him on antibiotics, so I guess it is viral then. Hubby and I was at the verge of getting sick a few days ago after his late grandmother passed away, we didn't expect it'd be contagious since we weren't really down with the flu, yet. Guess we were wrong.

I'm glad his temperature is slowly subsiding, from 39°C to 37.2°C after we have start him the antibiotics.

Shareese has also been complaining that his mouth hurts. We thought it was because his lips cracked due to him not taking enough fluid (more like REFUSING to take fluids, or food), but it turns out he's developing ulcers inside of his mouth. Poor thing.... Doc gave him a numbing spray to help alleviate the pain and to help bring back his appetite. He usually would go to 5-6 bottles of 180ml milk, and atleast a bowl of rice a day (with random snacking of biscuits and cakes and stuff). But now it's hard to get him to drink just 1 bottle of milk. He only seems interested in his cold Milo packet drinks. Doc said since he's not coughing and no signs of flu, she suggested we feed him cold stuff like ice cream, cold packet drinks, cold yoghurt, cold jelly, yoghurt drinks, and anything that's chilled. It helps to soothe the throbbing pain from the ulcers too. 

Wow!
This is the first time I heard that doctors says ice cream is good for sick babies. XD Anyways, followed her advice and seems like he's atleast taking a bowl of nestum now. And lots of fluid from yoghurt drinks, and packet Milo. Atleast it'll give him some energy.

Little one, please recover soon!!!
