JEL looked fine when we got home but we can see that she is weak. Her temperature is also lower. Got to Chinese Gen Hospital after 2 hours. She still doesn't have a fever. Her pedia also can't explain why. She just instructed us to have a CBC of JEL the next day if she'll have any fever within the night. We all thought that she is now better. We even decided to drop by my SIL's house in Cubao for a dinner. She was sleeping on our way back when I started to feel her temp rising. It was good that we have a wet towel to use on her. We're not able to bring her paracetamol. We just asked our helper to buy one when we got in my SIL's house. JEL was still playing with her cousins but every 3 hours, her temp is shooting up. She was also chilling with the A/C and fan "ON". We decided to bring her to the PCDC for the CBC at 10pm. We just waited for the result for almost 2 hours before going home. Reached our home in Cavite at almost 2am. JEL still have fever and her temp is rising an hour before her tempra intake. We texted the CBC result to her pedia at 6am. She prescribed an antibiotic because the CBC showed an infection. The dosage is too much for JEL. It was 5ml 3x a day. It was also kind of mentholated as per the smell. We needed to do 3 drops of it since she is choking if we give her more. We're also instructed to bring her to a baby friendly hospital for a CHEST and PA X-RAY. Thus, we brought her to Asian Hospital at 9am. She was crying inside the x-ray room. We're able to do the chest x-ray lying down. But we really had a hard time for the side view even with hubby's help. Hubby just decided to have the x-ray done while JEL is standing. He was holding JEL's hand and I was holding her feet. She looked super "kawawa" after the procedure. My heart really broke seeing the tears of my baby and the fear in her face. We went home after that and hubby just claimed the result after 5 hours. It was good that the result is negative. At least the suspected primary complex was eliminated. She still had slight fever for 2 days. It was good that September 21 was declared a holiday. We're able spend more time with her and see her development. She got well few days after that.
Right now, I am still worried because she again had cough and colds last week. Ariel brought her pedia last saturday (10/10/09) and she again took an antibiotic. She jsut finished it today and now under observation. Another thing that worries me is small lymph node below her right ear. It was there for almost 3 months already. The pedia just advised us to regularly check it if it will increase. We pray that it is nothing serious.
