Yup, a secondary infection. That's what our family doc diagnosed what my other half had since yesterday. And yup, it's a new infection that took place after she'd just recovered from the earlier coughing session...due to our poorer resistance & recovery process caused by an ageing body! As once was heard repetitively....
"Never grow old...."Well, if only that were possible...
A broad spectrum antibiotic was prescribed for her. Twice daily...together with Uphamol to control the fever. And yup, the fever somehow still persisted but never peaked as high as it did on that morning. Lower than 38.9 deg C. Went down to a lower 38.1. Which was good.
That was yesterday. She now appears to be on the road to recovery, with gradually reduced peaks. At time of posting this entry, the digital ear thermometer gave a reading of only 37.2. Normal. Kind of...
Me went & bought a pack of "Bye-Bye Fever" strips by Hisamitsu. 6pc pack. Cost? RM14:30 @ Watsons nearby. Helps...instead of sponging. Claimed to last 10 hours per application.
Well, what can I say? This month is not ending nice. But frankly, if that's all it is, then it's also not that bad. Agreed? Me was more afraid that the fever might turn out to be caused by something more severe eg Dengue or the dreaded AH1N1...Thank God it wasn't!!
Have to end here now. Just an update.
F1 @ Sepang, Malaysia, is on this weekend. Am hoping all would be well once more & both inmates can enjoy a great sporting weekend at Sepang! Virtually, of course...from the couch!! And yup, this F1 race would be telecast LIVE by NTV7...
