Sometimes I wonder why my son gets so sick, am I doing something wrong so that every month something happens to him, the truth is that I feel bad when he starts with any symptom of any disease, because even though he is a totally healthy child he always gets sick.
Days ago the person who was taking care of him called me saying that he had vomited, but it was like mucus, it was not food, it looked like a drool, I immediately went out to look for him, since I had heard of a virus that arrived in Bahía Blanca-Argentina and was commonly occurring in children; when I arrived I felt him off, which seemed strange to me because he is an active child.
We got home, he slept peacefully, however in the early morning he started with a fever of 39.3 and vomited again a lot of mucus, I did not know what to do, since he had never had such a high fever and he was shaking, I remembered that my mom always tells me to bathe him with warm water for a while to reduce the heat and then give him medicine; when I put him in the bathtub his skin turned red, I was so scared to see him shaking that I took him out and left him in a diaper on top of me all night long.
Of course I did not sleep, since the temperature did not go below 38.8, when he woke up I dressed him to take him to the doctor because I wrote to the pediatrician and she told me to take him; even though he had only spent that night with fever I felt that behind that high temperature there was something. When the doctor was checking him, he started coughing and complained, when she finished checking him she told me that he had a respiratory infection with otitis, that's why the fever did not go down because he needed antibiotics.
Although 3 days have passed and the fever is still not as high as the first day, however he has a temperature of 38.3, hopefully with the treatment he will get better soon, since he does not want to eat or be on the floor he asks me to hold him or lie down, luckily I am still breastfeeding because if he does not eat I am a little calmer because he takes the breast every hour. However, as every mother, it is impossible not to be worried, especially if you are alone in another country.
Finally, I would like to ask mothers if their children get sick a lot or not at all?
