Herpangina

>> Friday, April 15, 2011

Alaric was sick since Sunday. It all started with a high fever of 39.4 degee celcius at the night of the zoo trip!
Thinking that he may had caught a viral from the zoo as the weather had been hot and humid thus viral virus were rampant. But on the Wednesday, the 4th day of infection, his fever were still not settling. Thus daddy took him to the PD.
He was diagnosed with Herpangina - Hand foot mouth sister virus. He has red spots around his throat area which will cause him extreme pain. That's why he is refusing milk and most food.
PD commented that this virus would be from school instead of the zoo. I called the school to inform them about it so they can sterilize and clean the school to prevent virus from spreading to others. Yesterday principal called to inform that there is a case of HFMD, a mild case. Sigh. My worries came true. Hope they handle this with great caution.
Anyway Alaric's fever is settling. Plus the teething issues, his cough seems to be coming back. Teething always bring illnesses for him. Hope he clear his cough and flu soon.
Mummy and daddy cannot afford further leave. Daddy took 3 days after starting work less than 2 weeks and mummy took 2 days of unpaid leave since it's still on probation period.
That's life.
