The Diary Game [17/02/2024] // A Day with the Paediatrician
Steem greetings from the motherland-Cameroon to all friends on the Steemit blockchain. It is always a privilege sharing with you guys my daily routines. Yesterday was a bit hectic for me at the hospital with the prescriptions from the general practitioner. I did not have a good night rest and obviously I needed to act fast so that my baby’s life is back to normal.

I had a sleepless night and I decided to prepare myself and the baby to see a pediatrician. I took my bath and also bath the baby, dresses him up and feed him. He was reluctant to eat I’m sure he has lost appetite. I tried forcing him to eat but he ended up throwing it out. My husband then asked me to arrange his bag let’s go early to consult.
I left the house at about 9:00 with my husband, took a cab to the Doctors’ house. I know many will be wondering why consult the child at a doctor’s house but let me shock that even at the regional hospital which is considered one of the biggest does not have a paediatrician.
We queue up waiting for our turn to consult the baby. When it was my turn, my husband assisted to hold the baby’s bag and I undressed the baby. The doctor first asked me what the problem was. I explained everything and she was angry with what the general practitioner prescribed for the baby. She took my son’s vital signs and examined him thoroughly. After the examination, she prescribed some medications I should buy.
We left the doctor’s house at about midday and upon returning home, the baby’s temperature was at 38.1. I tried calming it down with eferalgan syrup as we were told to do so. Unfortunately, the temperature was still high and I removed his dresses and gave him a warm bath with look-warm water. I kept him to sleep and rush back to the pharmacy to buy the drugs prescribed by the pediatrician.

I returned back home feeling exhausted at about 4:00 pm, prepare food for my kids and also administered the drugs and immediately, his temperature was back to normal. I placed him on the bed to sleep and I also felt sleepy. It was indeed a stressful day for me and I hope for better days especially with my son’s health challenges. Until my next diary session, I wish you all a happy weekend.
Thank you, friend!
