Emma,
recently my gal also had fever..
she is always in high side, everytime had fever, never failed to each 40.. there was once even 41..
at night, once she sleeps, its difficult to give her med or ask her to drink water.
worst part, she doesnt want cooling pad, aiyo, everytime she fever, i very suffer
talked to my PD, he said no choice, since temp usually go higher at night when they sleep, u give suppository (the bullet) before she sleeps.. this way it helps to maintain at least not to shoot till 40 and above
btw, i use diclofenac (this one given by my PD, its actually ibufen, which can only give if fever about 39 and above)
for day time, usually she still can play and eat, fever wont be so high, i only give normal paracetamol.
hope tonight enzo got no more fever..
maybe u also boil cooling drink, this helps to cool the body and expell some toxin.
i gave barley water.. so the whole day she will only drink that.. included her milk, i also use barley water to mix.
