Manal
I hope Ahmed feels better soon. The change in the climate is probably the reason for his fever. All the very best for your kids exams.

Thanks a lot my friend. Actually he has a viral infection from last Sunday with a fever of 39 c and yesterday, he started coughing and runny nose too. I really hope he becomes better .
Maha
Thank you so much for your wishes Maha. You are right the weather is not good now a days and some times with dust too. It is pretty frustrating that this last winter (thanks God) he didn't have any cold and just before the exams he got this viral infection :mad :mad

:getwell Ahmed and good luck for the exams.

Hi Manal,
Hope Ahmed is feeling well and good luck for the exams. Do you know what virus it is?
-
Dear Manal,
Welcome back!! I hope Ahmed gets well soon, insha-Allah. Please keep an eye on his symptoms. I would also be curious to know what virus he's got? Have you taken him to see a doctor yet?
I'll keep Ahmed in my prayers! Please keep us updated on his condition.
Best Regards,
SF

Dear Manal,
I hope that Ahmad recovers from his infection very soon. I also hope that it does not affect his hg. Please keep us posted.
Sharmin

Thank you Tariq, Canadian family, SF and Sharmin for your wishes :hugfriend
By now i am really worried cause today (wednesday) is his fifth day of non stop fever. Medication for lowering the fever only stays two or three hours with him and it is supposed to work from 6 to 12 hours.I will take him again to the doctor today as his infection might have changed to a bacterial one that needs an antibiotic.
I don't know what kind of virus it is and definetly it has affected his HB after those 5 long days :wah :wah
Please we need your prayers

Manal,

Manal,
Ask Ahmed's doctor to do a blood test to determine which virus he has. I hope his fever comes down fast, iA.
Take care of yourself and Ahmed.
All the best,

Manal,
How is Ahmad now? Has his fever come down? What did the doctor say? I hope that he is doing better now.

Hi Manal
I hope Ahmad gets well soon. I think it is a common virus, my children also had fever last week. Anyway I am expecting as much for my children because winter is setting in (how I hate winter). Usually if the fever does not go down after 3 days, antibiotics are started here. Find out what virus this is. When the fever is too high you can do some tepid sponging (soak a small towel in normal temp. water, squeeze it to remove excess water and place it on his forehead, under his armpits etc to lower the temperature and at times I even give a small tepid bath to lower the temperature). Let us know how Ahmad is faring. Inshallah he will recover his good health soon.
Take care

Thank Canadian family, Sharmin, Dore and Jade.
Actually it is not regular to check for what virus we get here, except in serious cases, but his doctor started him on antibiotic (Augmanten). From the time he started his first dose, thanks God there is no more fever, so i guess that the viral infection has changed to a bacterial one.
I was supposed to make the regular CBC on Sunday but the hematologist said that i should postpone it as for sure there will be hemolysis as a result of this continous fever. he really looks so exhausted.
Again thanks all for your concern and wishes :hugfriend

Manal,
I am glad that he no longer has a fever. I hope that he recovers and begins to feel energetic and strong soon. Sending him hugs and good wishes :)
Sharmin

Thanks Sharmin, but i am really worried about him, this is the first time he says ''' i am not feeling good'' may be because it was the longest time he got a fever of 39 for 5 days, i don't know,.... hope that he will be back to his nature soon
