Our Weekend

Another not-so-healthy weekend, this time , it's for Joaqui. He had a slight fever last Friday afternoon, and I had a hard time configuring what's wrong since he has no colds nor cough. Yesterday, Saturday, i have decided to bring him to his pedia. He has a temperature of 37C before we left the house, but when we arrived at the clinic, I felt him getting really hot. Upon checking, he had a fever of 39.2 C !! He was given a suppository right that moment. The source of his fever was spotted the instance he opened his mouth.

He has acute pharyngitis (a painful inflammation of the pharnyx , also referred to as sore throat; tonsils may also be infected ,thus makes eating painful ). He's under antibiotics and paracetamol in cases of fever, and if it will lead to coughing, I am advised to nebulize him too. Thankfully, no coughing until now. We stayed home the entire time. Hubby and I decided to re schedule our search for contemporary furniture at the mall. That can wait..

Joaqui's milk intake is now down to 4oz. (from his usual 8oz) ..he only eats a few spoons of rice today. Im too afraid that he gets dehydrated, so I make him drink water from time to time. The only thing that doesn't bother me now is that, he remains to be active and playful. If he gets all clingy , then that Sure is a BIG problem for me. Hope he really gets well soon.
