Ryan had fever at 4 months and he registered 38 degrees which is actually very high for a small baby under 6 months of age. He had to be hospitalised just to be on the safe side. I nursed him continuously throughout the night and he huddled up together with me on the parent sofa-bed, refusing to sleep in the babycot at the hospital ward. What was most pitiful and trumatic about the whole experience was the connecting the drip valve. He wailed pitifully, my heart was so broken. Good thing, Chris was with him throughout the whole procedure because I think I might end up fighting with the doctors and nurses, and preventing them from poking my poor son.

Yah, there is no harm seeing a doctor afterall. They are certainly trained in detecting the symptoms of those deadly deseases. I am now more convinced in bringing baby in for consultation after reading about meningitis in the YP and National Geog mags.
