High Fever, Runny Nose and Cough

The signs and symptoms were similar to mine. I had been sick for almost two weeks before passing it to Oliver.

If I am not wrong, this is the first time Oliver has fever as high as 39 degree celsius due to viral infection. Even when he had his routine immunisation jabs, he had fever no higher than 37 degree celsius. As a first time parent, I was very worried about his condition. Gladly, after a night of intermittent fever, Oliver's fever subsided leaving him with stuffy nose. Poor baby, he couldn't suckle well due to his blocked nose. At night, he would cough rousing him till he sat up and cried.

Despite his condition, I am glad Oliver is still chubby and ever ready to play with us.
