High Fever

This blog is becoming a medical record, for us to keep track of when Kinnon is sick. A little baby came down with higher fever yesterday (Friday). We put off going to the doctor, until it was 3am last night. We have been trying to keep his temperature under control with regular does of Paracetemol and Nuroprene (Ibuprofene eq) However, his temperature still spikes beyond 40C (104F) occassionally. Pat, our friend and neighbour from 3 blocks down, and proud mother of 3 babies, was nice enough to come over at 11pm last night with some suppositories to reduce his temperature. However, at 3am we decided to go to the 24 hour walk-in clinic at one of the private hospitals, Mount Alvernia. Doctor gave us more suppositories, rehydrating fluid and we went back again.
Today, his temperature has been up and down even under medication, and it got as high as 40.1C. We are now preparing to have to go to the A&E department at the public hospital if necessary this evening.
