Feeling hot hot hot

Okay no jokes. I have been running a fever of 37-38 C . I had been feeling very cranky over the weekend and it just started getting worse since yesterday. I was red-carded from the nursery when my fever shot up very high. Mom and Dad had to collect me and bring me back home.

Back home, I felt a little better after a dose of Calpol,. In the evening I went to see the doctor, who prescribed more of the same. I was feeling better already. In fact, after dinner, I was in such a playful mood that I even enjoyed Dad's feeble attempts at beatboxing. I was laughing out loud and I guess both Mom and Dad were relieved to see me feeling well.

However, it was just a temporary state of well being. I started running the fever in the night and I was muttering all night through. Dad brought me in bed with them and I think mom couldnt sleep a wink afterwards. In the morning it was no better - I had cold sores from wiping away my runny nose and the fever was rising slightly.

I needed a lot of comfort and mom held me close for a better part of the day. Even if I slept, it would be on her lap. When dad came back in the evening, I hit a personal high of 38.8C. Obviously we had to go and see the doctor. I have never cried so much at one go as I did when I was in the doctor's cabin. The doctor diagnosed that I have a ear infection and wrote me a new prescription.

The new prescription seems to be working as my fever has subsided since. I have also been a little more playful, much to the relief of these two.

Luckily, all this fever had not affected my appetite. I ate well at all meal times during the day - guess thats a relief.

Hopefully I will get well by tomorrow. Dad thinks I am a very brave boy for bearing all this without too much fuss. No worries dad - this is all child's play.
