My daughter

A has fever again. She had been well since the last fever bout, spent the morning with family and she started to say she was tired. When we got home after lunch, she complained "Mama I got fever", took her temp and true enough, it was 37.4C. She said she wanted to sleep so I stuck on the smarttemp before sending her to bed. Looks like her fever went up hitting the 38.5C threshold twice (alarm sounded) and now coming down. I love how I can monitor her temp without disturbing her much needed rest n sleep. Just check the smarttemp app on my phone is such a breeze versus using an in-ear or armpit thermometer which would definitely wake her up. Get well soon my dear girl! 💪🏼

Bacterial vs Viral Infections

Bacterial and viral infections have many things in common. Both types of infections are caused by microbes -- bacteria and viruses, respectively   The Differences Between Bacteria and Viruses Although bacteria and viruses are both too small to be seen without a microscope, they're as different as giraffes and goldfish. Most bacteria are harmless, and some actually help by digesting food, destroying disease-causing microbes, fighting cancer cells, and providing essential nutrients. Fewer than 1% of bacteria cause diseases in people. Viruses are tinier: the largest of them are smaller than the smallest bacteria. All they have is a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. In most cases, they reprogram the cells to make new viruses until the cells burst and die. In other cases, they turn normal cells into malignant or cancerous cells. Also unlike ...

Have you heard of febrile fits/seizures?

Simple febrile fits commonly occur in children between 6 months to 6 years old. There may be a history of such fits in the family. Fits usually occur with high fevers, especially when the temperature reaches 38.5ºC or more. In a fit, the child's arms and legs will jerk involuntarily; up-rolling of the eyes and teeth clenching are common signs. The child may also pass motion and/or urine during a fit. Fits usually last a few minutes, with some as long as 15 minutes. A child will commonly feel sleepy after a fit. There is a 30% chance that the child will have another fit, especially if the body temperature maintains at 38.5ºC and above. The actual cause of febrile fits has not been clearly established but there may be a background family history associated with it. Simple febrile fits do not cause brain damage, nor do they cause delay in child's development.
