Continous Fever

Ahamd has been having a fever for three days now ( starting Friday evening). The max is 39.5 c and when it goes down, it is 37.8 c. The doctor said that it is a mild throat infection. He gave him antibiotic Cefdin 125mg for 5 days and also Zyrtec for 2 weeks cause he has nasal backcharge ( this was present before he got ill )

Today (monday) and untill now 3.30pm he is well with no fever but we can see (even Ahamad himself) that his face is looks a bit different as if it is a little puffy , his eyes look smaller too.

Could this be a result of having 3 days of fever and continous medications that lowers the fever (voltaren, Brufen and Sulide )

Whats the hemoglobin?

Manal,

I hope Ahmad feels better very soon.  Puffiness can be a side effect of medications, but you should always mention it to his doctor, especially if it increases.   

How are his other symptoms now?  Hugs and kisses to Ahmad 

Sharmin

Puffiness can also be cause of low hemoglobin, isn't it?

Manal,

Please cjeck his hb ,because fever can increase the hemolysis rate,He is in my prayers always.

Zaini.

I hope that Ahmad is feeling better.  Were you able to get any advice on the swelling? 

Thinking of you and your family - my prayers are always with you,

Sharmin

Sharmin. Zaini and Sahil thanks a lot for your concern

I don't know the Hb right now but usually when it is low after a fever, the doctor give him 10 days as a chance to see if he will correct himself or not and usually he does. so that is why i was going to test it in the coming days


As for his face, i really can not say it is a severe puffiness, but his face looks as if he had slept for a very very long time. you know what i mean. Actually i didn't have any medical advice on this till now because i don't know if this mean anything or not or it is just that he is being tired out of the fever.

The good thing is that he is active

Hi Manal ,
high fever caused weakness, weakness caused pffines and pffiness result's  the eyes are looking small ... i think thats  wat happened to Ahmed bcoze it is something that i faced when i got severe fevers or severe stomach ache  like something ... please check his Hg .. Insha-Allah he will recover fast & will be fine very soon ....  Best Regards for Ahmed

Take Care
Umair

Thanks Umair, i hope that he recovers fast too. I will do the cc and let you know

Manal,

I understand what you mean by the 'puffy face" and puffiness underneath the eyes - making them appear smaller.  My kids both can look like that if they have been sick, I think that is very normal.  Having good energy is a great sign. 

In a way, it is good for the little ones to catch these colds etc. because it helps to develop their immune system.  It is just hard for us to watch 

I hope little Ahmad's beautiful eyes are bright and happy very soon - let us know when he is batting his beautiful eye lashes at mama:)

Love you little guy 

Auntie Sharmin

Thanks Sharmin . i will show him those lovely flowers tomorrow morning when he wakes up 

manal

Isya'Allah everything will be fine!

He's a special boy!

 

Lots of hugs and kisses for our little spider man 

                    

You'll be climbing up and up in every aspect of your life,Inshallah.

Oh my God Zaini, he adores this picture and he had a big smile on his face when he saw it. He thought that Sajid had sent him this one. But i told him that it is you and he really thank you so much but he is telling you that he is ''big''Ahmad not ''little'' Ahmad cause he is a big boy . He told me to give you this big hug and he will wait for more .
 

Sharmin, Ahmad loved the flowers soo much and he kept asking how you and Zaini know him and if he can see you and what language do you speak. He chose those smilyes for you


Many thanks AL for your wishes and concern, they mean the world
