What happened... .. ?
Friday (24-7-09): DS was running a fever in the afternoon and mommy fed him with Paracetamol. Hours later DS's fever subside and seems ok so we decided to monitor him 1st instead of bring him to our pediatrician in the evening.
.
Saturday (25-7-09): DS's fever came back in the wee hours of the morning, as the fever is not too high we continue feeding him Paracetamol and monitor his temperature at the same time. Unfortunately the fever did not go away this time round, so we brought DS to "Baby N Kids Specialist Clinic" (our PD). Nothing was diagnosed and we were advice that probably it's just viral infection... .. . So ok loh... .. .

By late afternoon around 3plus, the fever has shoot up to at least 38.8 'c! "Now we are in panicky mode!" We packed our Allerhand baby bag and rush down to KK Hospital Children A & E... .. . Upon reaching KKH, the nurse station will attend to the patient 1st then go in and wait to see the doc. After seeing the doc, she adviced that DS's fever could be caused by viral infection as she saw some white spots on the throat (which is ulcer) or UTI (urinal tract infection) which can only be determined after the urine test. So we waited and waited but in vain as we didnt manage to collect DS's urine... .. . by the time we can go home, it's oredi 11plus PM! We fucking spent 7hrs in KKH! DW was exhausted (for carrying DS all the way as we didnt bring our pram and bjorn carrier, too rush), DS was also damn poor thing and of course i'm exhausted too... .. . So as for the urine sample, doc advice us to collect the urine when we're home and bring it back to KKH for lab test within 2hrs.

Sunday (26-7-09): Fever is still there, going up and down like the stock market... .. . All we can do is to sponge DS and feed him the prescribed medicine to bring the fever down.

8:40pm, we finally got our DS's urine sample! Drove down to KKH and passed it to the nurse for the UTI test. Initial test shows that DS urine could be positive or UTI so the doc sent it for further tests which required me to wait for about 1hr for the result.
