xuelyn,
My bb also got viral fever recently went to a&e once and seeing PD 2 for times, bb is recovering and hope your husband get well soon.
Viral fever:
My bb down with high fever for 3 to 4 days, his temperature was between 38.5 to 39.5c for all the times, after taken paracetamol his temperature still unable to suppress.
Day 1 : bb temperature started with slightly fever in the morning, feed him paracetamol but his temperature was going up to 39.5c in the midnight. We rushed him to KK a&e but doctor can't detected what is causing the high fever and suspected may due to flu then prescribe paracetamol and flu medicine. Doctor mentioned will prescribe TAMIFLU in next visit if fever up to 41c or bb fever not subside after 4 to 5 days.
Day 2 to 3 : Brought bb to PD at day 3 since his temperature remains above 38.5c after medicine, still no symptoms of flu then decided to take all the test for him for H1N1, urine infection and blood test in dengue. All test results in negative but PD confirmed from the blood test result some reading showed that bb got viral fever.
Day 4 : Fever was subside in the afternoon and has rash appeared on his face.
Day 5:Rash was appeared on all his face and body quite badly.
Day 6 : Rash started to subsided from his face to body.
Bb feels very discomfort for whole week especially during night time, he can't sleep well for longer then one hour, he rolls over on his bed and cried for every night from 1am till morning.
Husband and I almost fall sick due to lack of sleep at night and still need to work during day time, appreciated my nanny suggests to look after bb for one night and we can get into a good sleep for that night.
Bb is recovering now except totally rejected all foods and drinks started on day 3, PD says his throat was infection causing by the viral fever. We used syringe to pump all drinks into his mouth and he cried very badly each feeding.
