I Dreaded Fever

I got a call from Mom last Thursday informing me that Keona was having fever. I was literally down and could not concentrate on my work. I called Doc Mike, Keona's pediatrician and he advised me to have Keona take paracetamol every four hours. Since Keona was also vomiting Doc Mike told me to have her drink Vometa (Domperedone) - 2.5 ml. every four hours.

Keona's pediatrician told me that it might just be a viral thing. We just have to observe her and if fever continues the following day, we have to bring her to the clinic and do some laboratory tests.

Keona's fever continued to go down until it reached to normal level. Thankfully, it did not return and I was really relieved.

On Dengue Fever and Asthma

Dengue fever is very rampant in our place nowadays. There are so many cases of Dengue and it is very alarming. In a nearby province, it is already declared a state of calamity due to soaring dengue cases. The daughter of my office mate is also having a dengue and is now confined in the pediatric intensive care unit in a hospital. She's having a stage 3 hemorrhagic dengue. Her heart, lungs, liver and kidney are now affected so she's really in critical condition. Her vital signs are very unstable. I pray fervently for her recovery.

Hubby and me told Mom yesterday to just let Keona stay indoors. She usually go out in the afternoon and play outside but we don't allow her to go out as of this time.

The daughter of my office mate is also having an asthma so she's having also difficulty breathing. And this morning, I wondered why our one house help looked sad and I can sense that there's something wrong. Later, I found out that the other house help is having an asthma and hard-up to breath. Hopefully, she'll get better after taking medicine.
