My son has been running high temperature for 2weeks now. I took him to Angelic care children s
Hospital in Abuja, full blood count test was done , it came out positive (1+) iinjections and drugs like lokmal, camoquine was given yet it persisted . His head is always hot. We did another test but this time blood culture and nothing was seen. We did another full blood count and It came out positive again (1+) drugs were given yet he's is still down with fever. He is very weak. Pls what do I do?. And any recommendation of another children's hospital in Abuja will be appreciated pls.

Hello mama, go and buy glucose. Add it to his food and water. Keep your baby well hydrated. Offer both the glucose water and normal water. It is possible the baby has a viral infection. The antibiotics may not help.

Fever in children is not necessarily bad as we always assume. When children develop fever, it is the way their body fights off infection by producing heat to burn off the bacteria/virus.
If you have taken an antibiotics and cleared of malaria, as long as the temperature is under 40*C and the child is above 6 months with no underlying medical condition,it’s not a red flag.

My son just came out of this yesterday. I got a 39.7 one night and I didn’t sleep for some days because I was constantly checking his temperature.

My tips for handling fever:
1. Note the temperature.
2. I bathe/ pour lukewarm water on the child. This reduces the temp better than just using wet cloth.
3. Then give paracetamol/nurofen. I interchanged at interval.
4. Wore the baby loose clothes if necessary to avoid cold. If the baby gets cold, he may start shivering and that will make the body to produce more heat.
5. Offer small portion of food at interval to curb throwing up due to high fever.
6. I give glucose water. The logic is this, the body burns energy as it produces heat and you need to replenish this for strength and the brain needs it too.
7. If your baby is like mine that takes the glucose water sparingly, I mix his food and milk with glucose and give him plain water frequently. I also give lots of fruits, it helps.
8. If you do 3 and 4 and the temperature keep rising upto 37-37.5 for 0 to 3 months, 37.5-38 for 3 to 6months, 39.5 for above 6 months, head to the hospital.

For babies 0 to 2 months and preemies, all high temperature should be resolved in the hospital.
If your child is not eating, lethargic or seems non responsive, head to the hospital.
Mothers should insist that a test be carried out before they start any antibiotics. Nigerians, stop abusing antibiotics.

Have your family doctor or paed’s number. You don’t know when you’ll need it.

He may have drug resistant malaria. Please take him to see a paed. Abuja mums will come and recommend now

Hello mummys
I’m a ftm with a 2weeks old. I’m handling baby alone as no older one is avaliable where I am. I’m breast feeding and had a 3 degree tear which is healing up. What more can I do to heal faster and get tighter as I was ttc for 7years so I want to start up for another child and what meals will help me keep up with breastfeeding. How can I take better care of babysnd help build sleeping patterns as I have barely slept since delivery as he spits up after feeding as he hardly burbs so I have to sit him up for 30mins before laying him down and can only sleep when he’s in my arms so if he spits up from month or nose-I can quickly attend. Pls post all counsels as none will be a waste as it’s all new to me. Also my naval is still protruding,what can I do to help? Thanks so much Mummys

Where do babies start to roll to first? Tummy to back? Or back to tummy?

olubankemi:
Am soo saddddddddd.

Never being this vexed when someone or me destroyed something.

Went out for just 20 mins to get fuel and i returned to meet my kids playing with the cotton rod. For like a min i was wondering where they got It from, how did they remove it? Coming closer i noticed a blank tv with a voice but no vision, broken, the rod itself is bent, like they badly smashed the rod on it. Whyyyy .

I wish i can just replace it before their dad returns. Just so saddddddddd.

They were listening to their most loved songs when i left them. What moved them to playing with the cotton to the point of falling the rod, how come? I should have locked them up in their room!!!!

I cant stop ranting, whyyyyyyy.

Dont want to even check jumia for the cost now, i fit cry like them.

Going to sleep no cooking, na garri dem go drink sleep today. I will package that garri go school with them tomoro. Their teacher will know what they did.

Liftedhands:
Tummy to back is usually the first cos its easier, though done babies that have good head neck control early start with back to tummy! Either way is good.
