27-Mar: It was a lovely Sunday. Decided to bring my BabyErn to mom's house to meet up with my nieces & nephew. The children had a great time playing. Brought them to the field to run and sweat. Such a good evening for the children to be outside, enjoying the scenery without any electronic gadgets.
Late that night, BabyErn had a fever; 38°C. Probably from playing and sweating too much. Did the self-test. Negative. Fever couldn't subside even after 3ml of Avadol ( children's panadol ). Doesn't seems right. So, we drove back to in-law's house immediately. ( She stays with her grandparents on weekdays )
28-Mar: Took her to A&E at Island Hospital midnight. Temperature went up as high as 39.7°C. Nurses immediately inserted voltaren into her rectum. Did RTK Test & confirmed positive around 1AM.
BabyErn's temperature was like a roller-coaster ride, up and down & up and down. Her temperature was very dependent on her intake of avadol & voltaren.
29-Mar: Taking care of a sick toddler was not easy. Tired!
30-Mar: With the support from Panadol, her temperature was under control. However, I myself started to feel unwell. Tested with self-test kit; negative.
31-Mar: While the lil one recovered, both the parents were finally positive. Fever, cough, sore throat...
Since this post is way overdue, let me summarize;
The first 5days since confirmed positive was challenging. My throat was swollen. I cough non stop.. PCR result showed CT Value below 18. I also lost my voice. I was being advised to eat the Chinese med, Lian Hwa but I did not take it. I only take medicines from clinics. Ooops!
Anyway, recovering from cough took longer, probably 2-3 weeks. The rest was history...
