38.6 )am) noon 37.3 night 37.9 after pcm 4mls qid and one dose of sy.ees 5mls

sy pcm: 15mg/kg. 5mls =120mg of pcm

hb gave 100mg/kg, means 4 mls of sy pcm

it is the third night now and we decided to give him antibiotic, Sy EES.

have been giving him sy pcm from tues till now

there are a few reasons if a baby has high fever.

1. teething. temperature wouldnt be more than 39 celcius

2. viral fever. fever for 2-3 days

3. bacterial fever. fever more than 3 days

so since it is third night tonight and he still had fever in the evening when we brought him home, daddy decided to give the EES, gambling that it could be bacterial fever.

all is well now i hope

will post photos of kayjay taking med.

initially he loved the pcm! but starting last night, he began to reject it so we had to dilute it in some water and tricked him. he loves it. he loves drinking water.

daddy also bought suppository pcm for emergency purposes.

MO in KKIA (klinik kesihatan ibu dan anak) suggested to give supp if temp > 39. supp from hosp is 250mg hence hb bought from private pharmacy because we want 125mg supp. 5 biji for rm3 and he is complaining that it is expensive! :D i think we are used to getting free medicines!

will be back for more
