After a few days, Baby Citra eats friendly every time it gets a mouthful of MPASI. Some of the flavors presented in a bowl of porridge he could enjoy better. Tama is still trying to make MPASI porridge with his own hands for Citra. However, if Tama stays up at night, Mama Rina will make MPASI porridge for Citra.
Today, however, it feels different from Citra. The little baby drools more (removes spit) more, his appetite goes down, and more tantrums. It feels like Tama is overwhelmed to keep Citra tonight.
"Mama, this is why Citra is fussy still yes Ma .. even though Tama is carrying this loh," he asked the Mama.
"Try, look at the diapers first, Tam. You know he is not comfortable because diapersnya full or possible pup," replied Mama Rina.
Indeed, there are many things that make babies more often fussy, one of which can be because diapersnya full or indeed being pup and not immediately known by his parents. Hearing what was said by Mama Rina, Tama immediately put Citra to sleep on the bed and began to check on her diapers. The young Papa's hand reached the surface of the diapers type of pants worn by the baby, and found that the diapers were still dry. This means that the cause of Citra becomes fussy not because of its full diapers.
"Diapersnya still dry kok Ma .. this is just how much Citra salivates well?" ask Tama to her mother.
Mama Rina who was working on something left it for a moment, then started to see Citra's face. There may be other indications that can be seen so that the baby cries more often. Indeed Citra more spit out, then Mama Rina felt the cheeks to the neck Citra felt feverish. Touching his palms on his cheeks, neck, and forehead.
"Try taking the thermometer, Tama .. This is Mama's hand or indeed the image that has a fever well?"
Tama immediately took the thermometer as ordered by Mama and then checked the body temperature Citra. Approach the thermometer right on the forehead of the image, push the button and wait for the results shown on the digital screen of the thermometer.
"38 degrees Celsius, Ma ... This fever, Ma," said Tama who already looks so panicked.
As a single Papa, indeed Tama was so panicked if Citra had a fever. Like when Citra had to be immunized and had a fever afterwards, Tama was scared, until all night that single Papa could not fall asleep. Now, it's actually not the immunization schedule, but why does the baby just barely 7 months old have a fever?
"Need to take him to the doctor?" tanya Tama later.
"Yes, to the Doctor only, Tam .. usually the image of the fever if it has been immunized. This is not immunization against fever. At this time the Doctor's clinic is still open, right?" ask Mama Rina.
"Still Ma ... is still at 19:00, closed at 21:00, Ma .. yes already, accompany Tama yes Ma .. We take Citra to Doctor Bisma" he said.
No need to wait long, Tama and Mama Rina and Citra also immediately departed to the doctor's office. The goal of course is to check the condition of the image. For Tama, a fever with a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, is a high fever. Because, the thermometer he used earlier to sound indicates that Citra is indeed a fever.
A few minutes drive, thank goodness Doctor's clinic is not crowded. There was even only one queue, so Tama could quickly check the Image.
"Good Night Mas," said Tama who had entered the examination room belonging to his relatives.
"This, not immunization kok Mas .. This is just the image of fever. It was checked using a thermometer, the temperature was 38 degrees Celsius," explained Tama who said that before at home had been done checking body temperature using a thermometer.
Then Doctor Bisma asked Tama to lay the image, and again checked his body temperature was indeed 38 degrees Celsius. The doctor then used a stethoscope to examine Citra, examine her chest, and as if to perform a knock on Citra's abdomen. Doctor Bhishma just kept silent, and then saw that it was indeed Citra's cheeks that were flushed, as if a rash, then more produced spit on her lips.
Seeing the symptoms, Doctor Bhishma slightly opened Citra's mouth and directed the Flashlight that looks like a pen and highlighted the Citra mouth. Apparently there is a swollen gum section.
"Oh, no need to worry Tama .. have met the cause. The image will grow teeth," said Doctor Bisma.
When Doctor Bhishma said that the image of fever due to teething, it feels Tama rather relieved. He thought Citra was sick or what symptoms were serious. Because, there are times when fever becomes a symptom of a disease. Therefore, when Doctor Bhishma said that Citra was teething, Tama felt a little calm.
"Seeing from more of these lights, then his bottom gums reddened. Fever due to teething in infants is natural, at least 2 to 3 days will have a fever, and will begin to look full of his first teeth. The image is growing? Growing into an adult it does hurt, but that's the process of yes Citra Darling," explained Doctor Bisma again who is now actually rubbing the cheeks Citra slowly.
"Dikasih no mas medicine?" tanya Tama later.
"Yes .. pain relief and fever only. Actually if you have Paracetamol Drop at home, just give it that. There aren't?" ask Doctor Bisma then.
"Once it's over, it seems," replied Tama. As he remembered, his paracetamol drops at home were exhausted. To that end, Tama did expect the drug to be prescribed again only.
"Alright .. I prescribe paracetamol drops only for Citra, taken 3x a day with a dose of 0.3 ml well. Well, only if teething like this, Citra will begin to be uncomfortable to eat its MPASI porridge and want to drink ASI directly from the source. So, how's ya? Could Anaya be able to stay at your home first to keep Citra?"
Doctor Bisma also said so, because it is a baby when fussy because of teething fever can be silent and feel comfortable if you get ASI directly. At a time like this, Tama felt helpless. The baby desperately needs his mother, but Citra only has a mother of milk only.
"When you use dodot, how do you do?" ask Tama.
"Yes, nothing. Just try it first. Just usually a baby if the tantrum really needs his mother and wants to drink breast milk directly," replied Doctor Bisma.
Tama who listened to what her relatives had just said, thought it was possible tonight she asked for Anaya's help? What if the image fusses all night? If Citra is healthy, keeping Citra at night is not a problem for Tama. However, when Citra is not healthy and fussy at night becomes a challenge that is so heavy for Tama.
However he is just a man who does not have an ASI gland, can not calm his baby when fussy. Indeed, being close to the Mother, hearing the heartbeat of the Mother, and getting breast milk is one of the best to calm the baby during tantrums.
