Fever

Baby had his first fever on 5 Nov. Parents In-law brought him to a GP and he commented that baby might have Pneumonia and referred him to the Hospital. They rushed him to the Hospital straight away. With his mild fever of 37.2 deg C, baby was still active and happy at the Hospital looking here and there.
It was a long wait till baby became restless and tired. Luckily Dad In-law went to check with the Doctor if they allow to let baby first and they agreed. After checking, the doctor commented: "This is 1 healthy  baby!" We were sent home with a bottle of paracetamol.
That  night, baby's fever rose, but we did not have a thermometer to measure the exact value. We used a wet hanky on his forehead to lower his temperature. It was a relief that his fever subsided sometimes past midnight.
Baby was supposed to have his immunization jab the next day, but was delayed to next week.
Later  that week, sandbox and I went to buy a digital thermometer.
