Ezel is Diagnosed with Tonsilitis

Ezel has fever yesterday night. I gave her the fever medicine once we knows that she is fever. I even put the cooling patch to her forehead but she do not like it and keeping wanting to peel/take it off. Finally she asleeped. Ken said that if she still have fever the next morning, we need to bring her to visit doctor. Ken asked me to take half day leave.

When I wake up this morning for work, she is still having fever. So, I messaged my colleagues that I take emergency leave half day. Since Ezel not yet wake up and I do not want to wake her such early, I continued to sleep for a while with her.

The next two (2) hours, she wake up and asking for a bath. So, I take her for a bath while cool down her temperature. She is not as active as usual. She had a bottle of milk before we went to the clinic.

Waited for about 30 minutes plus before our turn. During the waiting, Ezel still talks a lot and sometimes wanted to go down to the floor. Since she is not wearing any shoes, we refused her to go down to the floor. Usually, she would not sit still by her own. But today, she can. She even imitate us on how to fan ourselves using a piece of paper!

Finally our turn came. The doctor recognize her and asked what's wrong with her.

Doctor : What happen to the baby?
Me : She is having fever.
Doctor : Is she still hyperactive as usual?
Me : She can sit still today. [smilling]
Doctor : Oh! So she is weak now. Usual since she is sick now. Any cough/flu?
Me : No.
Ken : Got a bit of cough.

Then, the doctor takes her temperature using the ear termometer. At first, Ezel try to avoid but the doctor manage to plug in the sensor into the ear. She is quite surprise as what the doctor did. Her fever temperature is 38.3 degree. Then, the doctor check her lungs and she started to cry of uneasy. Doctor said nothing wrong with her lungs - no flame and clear.

He then check her throat. This is no good as he said that both side of her tonsilies are swollen. He showed us a picture on the wall on the area. He explained that this is common among children and usually started with vomitting and follow by fever. He said that if it is serious, one might need to be admitted to the hospital and get injection as one is not able to swallow anything. Both Ken and I quite blur on what he said and we only can blindly nod to response to him. He diagnosed Ezel with this diease - tonsilitis.

When we leave the consultation room, Ezel is happily waving goodbye to the doctor. The doctor returned and with a smilling face. I think he is wondering if Ezel is really that strong and energetic.

After taking the medicine and make the payment, we went to the next door foodstall to eat. Ezel barely have any appetite. So she only took few slips of the barley. Ken then drives me to work.
