Re jabs:
Mummies, Me MIA for almost 2 wks cos my boy fever after pneumoccal + chicken pox jab. The last i posted, he had temp < 38.5. And then fever didn't subside after taking panadol and even shoot up over 39. In the end, brought him back to PD and she said its unlikely due to jab, probbably viral fever and also gave the stronger panadol. And it took his fever 5 full days to fully recover. Some things to share with all:
-My PD told me he has to take 2 pneumoccal jabs since he is taking after 1 yr old.
-Pls try not to take 2 jabs at one go like i did. Although pd said only 15% chance of fever for the 2 jabs combined, a family fren who is a GP and now 70yr old with years of experience said its rare but possible for such high fever like my boy as his body can't take it. As a mummy, my instinct is that the fever was due to the jabs becos my boy got the fever the same nite after jab and the weird thing is thru out the few days where he had fever, he was eating, playing normally, in fact u can't tell he has such high fever if u don't touch him. If he is really sick, he wld have been cranky and no appetite.
Needless to say, both myself & hubby only slept at most 3-4 hrs a nite cos gotta keep checking his temp. As if its not bad enough, after he recovered from fever, he started to have runny nose and then cough + phelgm which I suspect was due to him being weakened by the jabs + fever and also caught a chill as he was sweating lots with the panadol. He was waking up 4-5 times a nite in agony cos of block nose & discomfort. He also had no appetite and only drinking 2-3 oz milk each feed and took very little semi solid. And then both my hubby + myself also sick due to lack of sleep. Am still recovering from flu and cough which has been dragging on for so long due to lack of rest. REally siong, sigh, really regret letting him take 2 jabs.
-Also took my boy to see the Yu Guo baby tui na when he was down with flu & cough. Now he is much better
