When my 7-year-old son got up yesterday morning, he said:
"I have a headache."
I took his temperature, it was 38.3 degrees Celsius (100.94 degrees Fahrenheit ).
I told him:
"Oh, you have a fever. Are you OK?"
"Oh no!"
My 5-year-old daughter and my husband ran away and they wore masks.
"Did you see them? You found out who worries most about you, don't you?
"Yeah. Only you!"
I took a day off and took him to see a doctor.
The children's clinic uses the internet reservation system and it opens at 8am, so I made a reservation for seeing the doctor in the morning.
But the reservation system was closed after 15 minutes though it is usually opened until 11am.
I thought maybe it was because the flu is going around and too many people tried to make a reservation for seeing the doctor in the morning.
Children who are suspected of having the flu or other infectious diseases have to wait in an isolated waiting space, but all of them including my son were waiting for their turns in the isolated space, so there were no children in the normal waiting room.
I was relieved that his flu test came back negative.
The doctor p
rescribed some antibiotics and cold medicines.
But his temperature went up 40.2 degrees Celsius (104.36 degrees Fahrenheit) in the afternoon.
I guessed the timing of flu test was too early, so the result was negative, but maybe he had the flu.
His fever wasn't likely to go down.
So I made my children wear masks and I prevented my 5-year-old daughter from approaching my son.
He had medicines and went to bed at 8pm.
My son went to the wash room at 11pm.
He was not hot when I touched him.
I took his temperature, it was 37.3 degrees Celsius ( 99.14 degrees Fahrenheit ).
"Good for you! Your fever went down. How do you feel now?"
"I don't have a headache."
He went to sleep again.
His fever had gone down this morning.
Actually, I have had persistent diarrhea since last Wednesday, and I had a headache this morning.
But I have recovered from both of them.
Mothers can't relax when children are waking up.
