Feeling woozy

So, what temperature constitutes a fever?

While 98.6 degrees F is considered the normal core body temperature, this value varies between individuals and throughout the day. The daily variation is minimal in children less than six months of age, about 1 degree in children 6 months to 2 years old, and gradually increases to 2 degrees per day by age six. A person's baseline temperature is usually highest in the evening. Body temperature, especially in children, is normally raised by physical activity, strong emotion, eating, heavy clothing, elevated room temperature, and elevated humidity. A rectal temperature up to 100.4 degrees F (38C) may be entirely normal (no fever). A rectal temperature of 100.5 or above should be considered a fever. Lower values might be a fever, depending on the child.

the day i fell sickWith almost everyone around me down with a fever, I finally caught the nasty bug. I had a fever, an infected throat and some cough+runny nose. It was making me uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep between 2am-4am in the morning, whining and tossing around the bed. Nenek gave me Panadol for kids which made me doze off till late morning. I eventually visited the paed late Friday afternoon with Nenek and Aunty Zah after Ibu came home. Dr Kumar didn't give me any antibiotics but a couple of fever medicines...one for the fever and the other to be used when the fever is over 38.5degrees celsius. After being fed with the medicine, the fever's subsiding now.

Time to rest now...I'm feeling woozy.

And Papa always say, get the temperature down first, then go for the flu.
