Fever??


Thats a picture of my angel, Ayra. She is Hyper-allergic to nuts. And yess...any kind of nuts..be it macademia, walnut, peanut, almond, u name it. And her favourite activity is EATING. She loves eating a LOT and eats almost anything. So yesterday evening, she was down with fever, runny nose, cough and a lil wheezing. The nuts was the culprit. After giving her some paracetamol, a glass of yogurt drink, her dose of inhaler, cough syrup and drinking plenty of water, her fever subsides and the wheezing stops. But the cough was there till morning came and the fever came back. So I tried using tamarind juice by applying it to her entire head. The feverish slowly subsides, and she is now sleeping soundly.

Well the main reason for me putting up this post is to get tips and also give tips on what should you do to bring down the body temperature back to normal. Well as for me, I usually use tamarind juice and smother it over the entire head..and also drink yogurt drink/yogurt itself[cause it contains probiotic or active live bacterial culture]..it does wonders to your body. And as a mom, its easier to persuade ur kids in taking anything other than the medicine. 


A friend of mine also suggested using the hibiscus flower and scrunch it in the water to extract the juice or something and then smother the juice on the entire head jugak. And another tips was to use the shallots which is then mix with coconut oil and smother over the head/body. Barley is beleived to have the cooling effects jugak cause when i was small, remembered that whenever im having very high fever, my mom will make me drink the barley juice.Any other method or ways that i don't know of??Do share..thanx dearies.
And this is ayra with her fever. 





Pls pray that she'll be fine so that she can play happily with her sister ( miffy ) again.Miffy is bored today as she has no companion to play with and is nagging her papa to 'teman' her with everything.
And this is miffy yang tengah kebosanan...

YA ALLAH comelnya ayra and miffy!!!!!!! (eh, dia asthmatic ke? why use inhaler?) my grandma and my mum always put tamarind juice and scrunch it all over my head everytime i had fever masa kecik2. but now slalu letak kool fever sebab dah malas nak cari asam jawa(plus malas nak shampoo right after,LOL!) and if ada fever slalu kena selimut tebal2 so that nak bagi keluar peluh banyak2. hehe
