Influenza

Janelle is down with fever all of the sudden on monday morning just before we were about to get out of the house at 8am. I changed my planned and let her stay home and rest. By 4pm, her fever went super high to 40.3 degree and quickly brought her to see GP and inserted bifen supp to bring the temp down. It takes 2 hrs, longer than expected for the temp to climb down. And not long enough her fever started to shoot back and shortly after her dinner she started to vomit out everything she took. 40.1 degree remains since 7pm and we gave her paracetamol and showered her but still doesn't bring her temperature. We monitored till 11pm, and admitted her to KKH. Haiz, only when we reached KKH, her temperature then start to dropped. Doctor confirmed it is influenza virus A from lab test, and he shared that normally influenza fever will lasted up to 10 days. We stayed in hospital for 4D3N to get the vomiting stop and fever controlled. I requested to be discharge as i believe Janelle will rest better at home, and doctor agreed. When discharged, Janelle was still having fever wobbling at 38 to 39 degree.

Thanks to all aunts and uncles for the little gifts for cheering Janelle up.

Her still sick look when we reached home.
