3 mths medical check up

Gerald is having fever!!! At one point the thermometer had a reading of 38.1 degrees. I got a shock of my life seriously.. he was okay after the polio injection in the morning.. came back drank his milk played and slept as per normal.. then when I woke him for his milk at 2.30pm, he drank only half.. and then he fell back to sleep.. and his temperature was still fine..

Later at 5.30pm he only drank 30ml out of 120ml.. and he seem to be moaning in pain.. and that really got me worried... and despite me cuddling on to him, he was still crying non stop.. and his temperature read 37.9 degrees and I panicked. I took out the cooling patch that I brought for him and sticked that onto his forehead to help him relieve the fever.. it didnt help much so I gave him medicine and lots of water.. he didnt want milk...3 attempts in gaving him milk and he only drank 20 or 30ml.. and he still look very uncomfortable.. pain my heart to see him like that.. my little boy is uncomfortable.. poor Gerald..

Hopefully he will be fine tomorrow...
