子どもの急な発熱

今日はいつもの土曜日のスケジュールで、午前中に子どもの幼児教育のために出かけて、帰ってきてお昼寝。夕飯を食べてお風呂に入れて、子供たちが寝るまでは遊んでいたけど、いつも元気なはずの次男の様子がおかしい。口数も少ないし、自分から黙ってお布団に潜り込んで出てこない。熱を測ったらなんと３９.3℃！これは大変だと思って夜８時過ぎでも診療している病院を急遽みつけて急行。義母が溶連菌にかかっていた為、念のためその検査もしたけど陰性。普通の風邪という事で解熱剤をもらって帰宅。

ゴールデンウィークを謳歌している人もいれば、体調不良で苦しそうにしている人が病院にたくさんいました。いろんな人がいるなと改めて実感。夜間の病院のありがたさを改めて思い知らされました。

Our family spent as usual Saturday schedule. We went to preschool-class providing early childhood education. After getting back to home, we took a nap and then had dinner and had children take a bath. After that, we played for a while. But I found that my younger child seemed strange. He kept quiet and went to bed and never came out of there.  I took his temperature and it was 39.3 degrees!!! I rushed to search into any night hospital and took him to there. Sicne recently my mother-in-law had been infected with hemolytic streptococcus,  I had him check it but test result was negative. A pediatrician said that he was just caught a cold. I was relieved to hear that. I received an antifevrile. 

There were lots of patients at the hospital even if long holidays have just started, I felt each person is under each situation and I was taught the value of the presence of night hospital during holiday. Thank you!
