Continous Fever
« on: November 10, 2008, 01:36:56 PM »
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?
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

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?

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

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

Oh my God Zaini, he adores this picture and he had a big smile on his face when he saw it. He thought that Sajid had sent him this one. 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
 :yahoo :yahoo

Sharmin, Ahmad loved the flowers soo much and he kept asking how you and Zaini know him and if he can see you and what language do you speak. He chose those smilyes for you :kiss :smileblue :bigparty


Many thanks AL for your wishes and concern, they mean the world :hugfriend
