It's really sad and frustrating!!!
It's been 4 days...
my daughter still has very high fever reaching up to 39.0 C
....in the morning her fever goes slightly down at 37.8,
at noon at 38.5... then at evening at 39.0 plus.
This happened on Friday October 25,2013
2:00am beside her on our bed, I felt her skin started to warm up then I quickly gave her paracetamol at 6:00 am she was fine and was able to go to school (its her last day of 2nd quarter exam),
then after taking her exam and while waiting in class they watched a movie, she was starting to have a headache and chills, then after dismissal while she was waiting at the parking lot she told me she felt hot and had headache...I told her to run back to school and go to clinic to check and temperature and take paracetamol, the school nurse said she gave her 9ml tempra paracetamol based on her weight 30 kilogram (whick I felt 9ml seemed to much)
On Saturday October 26, 2013...
We went to our Pedia Dr. Angela at Metrohospital for check up. The doctor said if her fever still continues today, she needs to have cbc and nh1 blood test to find out her platelet and dengue results.
On Sunday October 27, 2013...
My daughter had her blood test at 9:00am.
The bloodtests were quite expensive together with cbc and nh1 total cost was 2,870.00 php plus.
At 12:30pm found the results were negative and so the doctor gave her Zinnat 250ml/Suspension 5ml 2x a day for 5 days (between 10 to 12 hours of taking the medicines).
And her fever still continued from 38.5 to39.4. so I kept on wiping her using cold towel to lower down her temperature.
I got so worried that I ended getting angry with her but I have to still think that it's still my fault.
Because before this fever started on Thursday we went Buffet 101 at Robinson Magnolia with her Grandma.
...I kept telling my daughter to eat proper food..rice and something but she stubbornly chose a lot of french fries, marshmallows dip with chocolate, very large pepsi, little tiny portion of rib( which actually did not eat at all!!!) and a yogurt. And did not drink a lot of water that day.
And she was hurt when we (Grandma and I) told her she did not eat a lot. My daughter argued she ate a lot. And I kept telling her its "junk food" that she's supposed to be eating proper food.
Hoooh!!! such a stress!!!....knowing at 10 years old she is starting to debate with me.
This is why I get mad when I remember what she ate at Buffet 101.
Monday October 28, 2013...
I was happy to find out this morning my daughter's fever started at 37.7 pr 37.8, but at noon started to retain at 38.5 then in the evening at 39 C and her cough still not ok due of itchiness and pain
At 10:45pm, I decided to call my doctor and told her everything and ask if I should still continue Zinnat because her cough is still there. I asked if there's medicine for itchiness throat and throat pain , she said if I have ay ceratine or antihistamine...I said we have alllerkid.
The doctor said to give her allerkid 5 ml twice a day for 5 days. and if still the fever did not go away today, tomorrow I need to take my daughter to take cbc bloodcount again.
Dear Lord,
Please help me! Please help my daughter her fever to go away tonight! its been 4 days and her fever is still very high! I don't want my daughter to get confine to hospital. Please heal my daughter tonight.
I really don't know what to do, am really crying inside. even when I show am angry.
Please help advise
am hoping that my daughter has no fever tonight so she doesn't have to take cbc blood count again.
at 10:00 pm I gave her paracetamol Biogesic 250mg/5ml at 6 ml (30.2 kilogram)
at 10:15pm then gave her Allerkid syrup at 5ml
at 11:00 pm (aftermeal) gave her Zinnat suspension at 5ml
Then I'll wake up later at 1:45am to check her fever if needed to give her paracetamol
then tomorrow moring I will give her allerkid and zinnat
If someone who cares it would really help if someone can give good advise of what other things I could do to help fasten to normalize her temperature.
My daughter is now sleeping at 38.5 temperature...I don't want the 39 temperture and above to go back.
Am really worried and panic!
I don't want my daughter to get confined.

This morning at 7:30 am went back to metrohospital to take cbc platelet once more.
...Well blood test was taken by a young man but am not satisfied by how he used the syringe to my daughter, the needle went seem deeper that the first taken by a lady named teresa, she use the syringe very very light. am not really happy by the way the young man did.
Went home then went back again at 1:30pm to the doctors clinic, the result I took it at the laboratory then gave it to the secretary, understandable she was kinda busy with the patients.
The doctor said the results of her platelet were fine. she said it was VIRAL
...that for Viral there is really no medicine for it. But since my daughter doesnt have a cold but itchy throat and coughing and tend to release phlegm ...then the doctor gave her Zinnat antibiotic and Allerkid for the itchy throat.
...that the viral would take from 5 to 7 days depending how strong the viral is.
...and doc said that since its been almost 5 days my daughter taking paracetamol...that this time when she reaches only at 38.5 temp and above, then I will give her paracetamol. But if its 38.4 and below don't give her paracetamol just wipe cold towel to lower her fever. Because too much paracetamol can damage the liver.
and doc said observe tomorrow her fever.
when we went back home my daughter got sleepy so she went to bed but before she go to bed I took her temperature first...I was sooooo shock!!! her temp went up at 39.5...I quickly rushed gave her Calpol paracetamol and started wiping her cold towels to lower her temperature. am really worried because her body is so so hot! Then later her temp went down to 38.8...so I let her sleep while I do some chores and after awhile at 5:45 pm I checked up on her and saw her back was moist....I was sooo happy to see its sweat!!! and also her neck too!!! this helps lower down more her fever, then I checked her temp its at 38.4. am still glad it went down a bit.
am praying that today she will be fine.
(Wednesday, Day 6) October 30, 2013
Today, my daughter still have fever, in the morning no fever but in lunch time and afternoon fever comes back at 38.0 to 38.4, and evening at 39.0 to 39.4
...I still give her Calpol 6ml
and still itchy cough!!!
October 31, 2013 (Thursday, Day 7)
But at 12:45 am her fever went 39.5, I was so scared and quickly gave her calpol 6ml
at 5:35 am her temperature was at 36.6, so I didn't give her calpo anymore then I went back to bed.
at 8:00 am temperature watst at 37.8 to 37.9, so I decided to give her calpol even though the doctor told me to wait at 38.5 before giving her calpol, but what happened yesterday was so scary I don't want to happen it again (from 38.5 to 39.5!), and her itchy cough is still there.
at 11:00 am my m in law visited and my daughter's temp at that time was 36.8
but to my surprise at 2:00 pm her fever came back at 38.1. then I gave m in law the chinese herbal medicine and at 2:30 pm gave her Calpol at 6ml.
...then called doctor at 3:30pm told her all what happened today. The doctor insisted to we go to condesa have my daughter chest xray (and tomorrow is Nov 1 "all Saints day", no working day).
...then went straight to doc's clinic at lavisarez st. there no radiologist to read the result, so the doctor read the x-ray herself "seem there is a part that has phlegm"
So that doctor prescribe another antibiotic "Zythromax"
...once a day
1st day... 7.5ml after dinner
2nd to 5th day 3.75 after dinner
...AND only give calpol 5ml this time when temp reach 38.5 or above and wipe towel if below 38.5 (since been taking it for 7 days)
...and to record her temperature.
6:45 pm 37.7 temp.
8:00pm 37.8
9:00pm 38.3
...started wipe towel...no Calpol
10:00pm 38.1
11:00pm 37.9 ...my daughter already sleeping at this hour.
The doctor said to call her tomorrow how she is doing.
am thankful I decided to go what the doctor advised or I'll be having a lot more stress tonight.
am praying that my daughter will be better tonight and tomorrow.
