Continuing from the previous article, after the fever and fever subsided on the first day, I had already mentally anticipated the high fever's counterattack, and expected that it would come back in the evening.
Sure enough, when I went to bed around 23:00 in the evening, I suddenly felt a chill and goosebumps all over my body. I quickly wrapped the quilt a little tighter and jokingly said to my wife: I want bad food. Because it had not been 12 hours since I last took ibuprofen , I didn’t pay much attention to it and fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up again, to be precise, I woke up from a fever, it was only after one o'clock in the morning. What does that feel like? It was as if I was in an oven, and the air exhaled from my nostrils felt extremely hot. My face is hot, my hands are hot, my legs are hot, and my whole body is hot. Occasionally I feel a slight chill, and I can't help but want to curl up to prevent heat loss, and keep wrapping myself in quilts. The heating temperature in my house is 27 degrees, and even though I’m covered with a thick quilt, I still don’t feel warm.
My wife quickly got me a piece of ibuprofen, drank it with a large glass of warm water, and drank it smoothly. At this time, my son also had a high fever in another room. His ears and face were red, and they were still burning when he touched them with his hands. He quickly took Merrill Lynch Antipyretic Oral Liquid, but it didn't seem to be effective, so his wife quickly used a warm towel to physically cool him down.
Just like that, I burned in this room, my son burned in that room, and my wife, who had just recovered, ran back and forth between the two rooms, carrying water and scrubbing. And her coughing sounds from time to time also indicate that she is also a patient who has not yet recovered.
Although I took ibuprofen, the cooling effect was not obvious this time. I felt groggy and my head was in a daze. I kicked off all the quilts for a while, and wrapped myself up like a rice dumpling for a while. It was after four o'clock that I finally understood what my wife meant by "burning me so much that I couldn't sleep." At this time, the temperature dropped, sleepiness came over me, and I fell asleep again listening to the programs of Master Su, Master Yang and the General.
When I woke up again, it was already past seven o'clock. When I moved my body, I found that my whole body was soaked with sweat. However, the overall condition is much better than last night. My wife, who was very agile, had already prepared breakfast, including hot shredded radish soup, a large bowl of soup, and a small bowl of rice. However, I still felt exhausted and continued to rest in bed.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, I took another piece of ibuprofen and fell asleep. Within 30 minutes, I woke up again with a fever, and my whole body was still burning hot. I took a thermometer and measured it. It was 38.9 degrees. My dear, I have a serious fever. I couldn't take any more antipyretics, so I lay on my side, covered my ears, cheeks and neck with the wet towel handed over by my wife, and continued to cool my head.
To make matters worse, a cough also came to join in the fun. The cough made my lungs hurt and my head was deprived of oxygen. I quickly drank a bottle of Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid. I spent the afternoon with fever and cough. Fortunately, my son, who also had a fever last night, has gone away and is full of energy again. He comes to my house from time to time to take a look, but I hurriedly drive him out.
In the evening, my wife made winter solstice dumplings with three fillings: leek and egg, leek meat, and pork and green onions. Although my body was still uncomfortable, I knew that if I continued to lie down like this, I would feel even worse. It was better to get up, eat something, and move around.
I struggled to get out of bed. My limbs were limp and my head was heavy, but I kept cheering myself up to cheer myself up. My wife, whose sense of taste has not fully recovered yet, asked me if the dumpling filling was salty or bland, and I felt it was just right. The delicious dumplings were stuffed with garlic and I ate them all. Perhaps because the spleen and stomach are still weak, the food intake is only half of what it used to be.
Since there are still internship materials for graduating students to be arranged, and two students have to take deferred midterm exams, I need to invigilate the exam online, and I sat in front of the computer again. I was on the phone for a while, sorting out information for a while, and then invigilating the exam. Before I knew it, my body had completely gone away from the fever. Except for a few sporadic coughs and a runny nose, it was the same as usual. It seemed that the virus was gone again.
In view of the bad experience last night and this morning, there is a high probability that there will be another tossing in the second half of tonight, so I can only endure it. If you want to know what happens next, let's listen to the next chapter.
