What do you do when your toddler has a fever? Wait for it to disappear in a few days or rush her to the paediatrician?
The Daughter has a fever yesterday and until this morning, the temperature still didn’t subside. I’m not worried about it at all because I read somewhere that it is the body’s way of fighting infection. She’e been having a runny nose for a week too , you see, and I thought I would just let the fever settle on its own as she is still very active and has a good appetite and everything.
And honestly, I really don’t want her to be given too much medication. Like they say, let the body fight it. But was I allowed to have it my way?
No! The Grandma INSISTED I take The Daughter to the hospital. I tried to reason with her but she started making nonsensical comments like I am too stingy to take The Daughter to the hospital. In the end, I gave in and to the hospital they went. Darn! I lost. To The Grandma. Again.
Sigh.
