Ahamd has been having a fever for three days now ( starting Friday evening). The max is 39.5 c and when it goes down, it is 37.8 c. The doctor said that it is a mild throat infection. He gave him antibiotic Cefdin 125mg for 5 days and also Zyrtec for 2 weeks cause he has nasal backcharge ( this was present before he got ill )
Today (monday) and untill now 3.30pm he is well with no fever but we can see (even Ahamad himself) that his face is looks a bit different as if it is a little puffy , his eyes look smaller too.
Could this be a result of having 3 days of fever and continous medications that lowers the fever (voltaren, Brufen and Sulide )

Whats the hemoglobin?
-
Manal,
I hope Ahmad feels better very soon. Puffiness can be a side effect of medications, but you should always mention it to his doctor, especially if it increases.
How are his other symptoms now? Hugs and kisses to Ahmad :hugfriend :hugfriend

Puffiness can also be cause of low hemoglobin, isn't it?

Manal,
Please cjeck his hb ,because fever can increase the hemolysis rate,He is in my prayers always. :hugfriend

Sharmin. Zaini and Sahil thanks a lot for your concern :hugfriend
I don't know the Hb right now but usually when it is low after a fever, the doctor give him 10 days as a chance to see if he will correct himself or not and usually he does. so that is why i was going to test it in the coming days :dunno
As for his face, i really can not say it is a severe puffiness, but his face looks as if he had slept for a very very long time. you know what i mean. Actually i didn't have any medical advice on this till now because i don't know if this mean anything or not or it is just that he is being tired out of the fever.
The good thing is that he is active

Hi Manal ,
high fever caused weakness, weakness caused pffines and pffiness result's the eyes are looking small ... i think thats wat happened to Ahmed bcoze it is something that i faced when i got severe fevers or severe stomach ache like something ... please check his Hg .. Insha-Allah he will recover fast & will be fine very soon .... Best Regards for Ahmed

Manal,
I understand what you mean by the 'puffy face" and puffiness underneath the eyes - making them appear smaller. My kids both can look like that if they have been sick, I think that is very normal. Having good energy is a great sign.
In a way, it is good for the little ones to catch these colds etc. because it helps to develop their immune system. It is just hard for us to watch :(
I hope little Ahmad's beautiful eyes are bright and happy very soon - let us know when he is batting his beautiful eye lashes at mama:)
Love you little guy :flowers :flowers :flowers :flowers :flowers :flowers

But i told him that it is you and he really thank you so much but he is telling you that he is ''big''Ahmad not ''little'' Ahmad cause he is a big boy :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl. He told me to give you this big hug and he will wait for more . :bighug

Hi Manal
How is Ahmad's fever now? Did you get his hb done. Puffiness is related to haemolysis, whenever prat has high fever, his eyes swell up. In fact i think I have posted the same query a few years back cos i was worried about the puffiness.
How is he now.
Luv Puja

take care

Hi Manal,
I am hoping it was just a minor viral "thing" and is now passing through its course. Best of health to Ahmad. How old is he and which grade he goes to ?
My son loves Spider man too, but unfortunately the spider man is not welcome in my daughter's diamond castle (i just found out today). :biggrin

definetly she has all the right :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl
Thanks Canadian Family so much , i hope both our children will be in the perfect shape soon.
Ahmad is in grade one and is 6 years old and he thinks that he has learned everything and that going to school is a waste of time :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl
