On the first day of infection, I found that there was no antipyretic medicine at home
I started to have a fever first in our family. After I developed symptoms, I took precautions and locked myself in my bedroom. Every morning, I boiled a pot of water and took it into the bedroom, and then got some bread, fruit, etc. to satisfy my hunger.

Since the child’s father works out of town, we and I cannot count on anyone. After I was infected, my child had to make do with everything he could at home, including one meal of instant noodles and one meal of takeout, but no nutritious meals. Although I was in isolation in my bedroom, I was always worried about my children and couldn't rest peacefully.
On the fourth night of my infection, my child had a fever. I didn't panic. In fact, I was mentally prepared for her infection. That night, the child's body temperature was around 37.5 degrees. I wiped her whole body with warm water. The temperature dropped to 36.8 degrees, and the child fell asleep.

But within an hour, I saw that her face was bright red, and it was a bit hot to touch her armpits. I measured 39.3 degrees. I was a little panicked and quickly looked for anti-fever medicine at home, but I found that in addition to cold medicine at home, it was ibuprofen . Looking at the instructions for ibuprofen, it says: Children under 12 years old cannot take it. I was confused at that time and didn't know what to do.
I quickly gave the child common cold medicine, and then continued to cool her down physically. I put a cold towel on her forehead and put an ice pack under it. After about half an hour, the temperature dropped to 38.3 degrees. At this time, it was getting light, and I rushed out of the house and went to the drugstore to buy fever-reducing medicine for my child. However, the store clerk told me that the anti-fever medicine had long been sold out, and recommended another Chinese medicine cold medicine and anti-fever patch to me. I didn't read the instructions at that time. After paying the money, I took the medicine and hurried home. I gave it to my child as soon as I got home and put a fever-reducing patch on it.

However, it has almost no effect, and the child still has a high fever. I started giving her massage again. Maybe the medicine was taking effect, or maybe my massage had an effect. Half an hour later, the child's temperature dropped to 37.5 degrees. I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The baby was asleep and I quickly caught up on my sleep.
Throughout the day, the child's body temperature hovered back and forth between 37.3 degrees and 39 degrees. I take her temperature every half an hour, and whenever I see the temperature rises, I give her a massage.
The first night was also the most difficult. Just around 8 p.m., the child started to have a high fever again. I took his temperature and it was 39.3 degrees. I clamped the ice pack under her armpits and put a cold towel on her forehead. An hour later, the temperature dropped to 38.3 degrees. I barely slept a wink all night, taking her temperature every half an hour. Whenever she had a fever, I would put an ice pack on her. When the temperature dropped, I would remove the ice pack. Throughout the night, the child burned repeatedly, and she fell asleep in a daze. I kept changing the cold towel on her forehead until dawn.
The next day, the child finally stopped having a fever, but his mental state was still not good.
The next morning, the child didn't wake up until 11 o'clock. I measured her body temperature, which was 38.3 degrees. I continued to put a cold towel on her forehead, and then gave her cold medicine, and she lay on the bed. The fever had subsided by noon. I took my temperature and it was 36.8 degrees. I made rice for her at noon. She reluctantly got out of bed and ate some, but she was still not in good spirits. The fever stopped at noon and afternoon, and I was afraid it would continue to burn at night.

At night, she went to bed early, but I was still worried. I took her temperature once an hour later. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever throughout the night. We both had a wonderful sleep.
On the third day, the child's appetite got better and he said, "I want to eat barbecue." On the third day, the child still had a cough, a runny nose, and a poor appetite. At noon, she ate a small bowl of the fried noodles I made for her, and then continued to lie on the bed to rest. In the afternoon, I asked her what she wanted to eat most? She smiled and replied: She most wants to eat the barbecue restaurant at the entrance of the community.
I immediately got dressed, went to the door and bought her eight skewers of barbecue, eight heart tubes, and one grilled naan . We both had a wonderful meal. Although she didn't eat much, her appetite was much better.

Some people also say that the reason why Xinjiang has fewer severe cases of this epidemic is: Xinjiang people usually eat beef and mutton, and their physical constitution is relatively good, so the symptoms are relatively mild. I don’t know if it makes sense, but my friends and family around me have recovered almost a week after being infected, and I haven’t heard of anyone developing pneumonia, or other diseases.
