Our poor little man had a high fever on and off for three days straight, and silly mommy was giving him too little panadol that the fever medicine didn't even work on him (I was following the dosage instructions from the bottle he got at the two month check up). The doctors said if there were no other accompanying symptoms it could be Roseola. They were right. The rashes appeared all over on his little face and body today, but at least the fever was gone and his energy level came back.
Now I can fully appreciate how hard it is for parents to care for a sick baby. Even this little incident left me exhausted from staying up almost two nights in a row for a a hot baby that was constantly screaming from discomfort. And thank goodness I am still breast feeding. At least I still had one tool that still works to calm him down and keep him hydrated when he refuses to drink water/juice from a cup.
