Max Fell Sick

Max fell really sick on the 3rd day of CNY. At first on saturday night, he had a slight fever. I thought he would get better after I gave him some fever medicine. But after a day of fever and it seem getting higher, I took him to see doctor on Monday. The doctor deduced its a virus infection since Max also got cough and flu.

But his fever won't go down, always above 38 degree. I was so scared that I rushed him to KK hospital on Tuesday afternoon. The doctor advised me not to get so worried as fever caused by virus infection may need several days to recover. However he advised me to check for dengue fever if his fever was not subsided after 5 days.

But to be on the safe side I took Max to check for dengue fever on the 4th day. When I saw Max crying when the nurse kept squeezing his blood out from his tiny finger, I felt so pained. But fortunately, his fever was not dengue. All in all he had fever for a full six days. During this period, he had very poor appetite and practically lived on water alone and he obviously slimmed down alot. From then onwards, I paid more attention to his personal hygiene but it a difficult task as he put everything in his mouth. Currently he has taken an interest in my glass coffee table. I wonder if the glass table top tastes better than his milk?

在农历新年的第三天,宝宝生病了。起初在星期六晚上,宝宝只有轻微的发烧。我以为给他吃一些退烧药就会没事。但他的烧却一直飘升。于是星期一我带他去看医生。医生诊断是细菌感染才会发烧,咳嗽,感冒。

但宝宝的烧一直没退, 一直维持38度以上。我感到很害怕,怕他烧过渡,于是在星期二带他去竹脚医院。那里的医生告诉我不必太担心,因为细菌感染而发烧通常需要几天时间康复。但医生建议如果烧超过五天最好去验骨痛蚁穴热症。

但我还是不放心,第四天见他的烧还没退,便带他去验骨痛蚁穴热症。当护士替乐轩抽血,一直挤他的小手指抽血导致乐轩陶陶大哭,我感到很心疼。但幸好他并没患骨痛蚁穴热症。他总共发烧了6天。这6天期间,他的胃口很差,几乎只靠开水填饱肚子,很明显受了一圈。所以我现在多注重他的个人卫生。但这是非常困难的任务,因为他把什么东西都往嘴里塞。最近他对我的玻璃咖啡桌特别有兴趣。难道玻璃比牛奶好吃?
