Larry is hospitalised and suffer from high temperature. Not swire flu.
Could anyone give me some suggestions/insights? He's body temperature was 37.4 in Monday morning and suddenly turned 39.8 in the evening. I gave him rectal, the temperature drop to 38.x but then went up again so we sent him to QE ER and was hospitalised since then.
High temperature for 2 days then keep on fever but below 39 degree. The lungs are fine, doctors said it's URTI and only viral - no medicine except for paracetamol if the temperature is over 38.5 and 收鼻水藥, nothing else.
I think it could be secondary bacterial infection as he still has some temperature, just not that high. Well, but the doctors still think it's only viral - and I am not in the position to challenge the doctors.
Shall I go for the private hospital - will it do any help?
Will it be meningitis? any chance it will affect the brain if the temperature is not gone (39.2 again today)?
Both Tony and Ruby have been hospitalized due to high fever. Again, the diagnosis was also viral infection and was discharged after a few days. Tony 3 days and Ruby 6 days.
Don't worry too much as Larry is already in hospital, the doctors and nurses will take good care of him.
Harubi is right, the doctor at that time also said high fever did not affect the brain unless the kid suffered from "chau gun".
Wish him get well very soon.

our little princess also had high temp 39.x deg C just the day before our departure to the US. she had been coughing for a few weeks but suddenly got high temp. well, i still think it is viral. really need to see Larry to determine. but our little princess usually has skin peeling off from toes and finger tips when having viral infection.
well, in private hospitals you will feel more confortable (i guess). if money is not a concern, it is also a good option for minor diseases like this. but you know, (touchwood) when the condition gets worse, the private hospital will send the patient back to the public hospital.
sorry that i saw your post late as I'm really very very busy and tired working in the Mayo Clinic now. wish Larry a speedy recovery. you also need to take enough rest at this stage.
