Yesterday wasn’t a great day… It sucks hearing a doctor tell you that your kid is healthy as a horse one day, and have that same kid wake up lethargic and with fever the next morning.
Yup, Freddy woke up with a 101.4 fever yesterday morning. All he wanted to do was lay down and cuddle. And if you know my kid, you know that it is VERY unusual for him…
All day we weren’t able to get his temp down below 100.7
I talked to the nurse and she told me that he wouldn’t have enough symptoms to get checked out that time, because he just got sick in the morning. So Jason and I decided to wait till the next morning to see how it was going.
Freddy, though still with a fever, started feeling kinda better by night, he even played with his toys. So we Jason put him in the tub before bed.
At first everything was ok, then Freddy started whining and wouldn’t tell me what was wrong. I took him out of the tub and he was burning up (the water wasn’t even that warm!)
He started throwing up a bunch, so we freaked out and called Jason’s mom so she could bring us to the ER.
When they measured his temp there, it was 103. Well, we thought he might have had a flu, but when the doctor checked him, turned out it was a viral pharyngitis, which pretty much is a sore throat.
They gave him some anti-nausea meds and something for his fever, which brought it way down, and sent us on our way.
He kept waking up at night, because of how much his throat hurt… He is doing a lot better today though, minus the pain. We were even able to take him to the library! Needless to say that made him pretty happy!
