Keegan is down with fever. Where we are staying is identified as one of the DENGUE HOTSPOT and there are a few mozzie bites on his arms and legs. Please tell me I’m paranoid, but how can I be not worried to death???

Let’s see …
Fever? Yup. Headache? Nope. Body ache? Not visible. Loss of appetite? His appetite couldn’t be better. Nausea? Nah. Vomiting? Certainly no. Skin rash? Nothing.

It’s all puzzling to me. There was no other symptom at all. For the first time, I was hoping to see any slightest hint of blocked nose, phlegms, or cough - just anything to indicate that the fever is a sign of common cold and not dengue. But there was none.

Our family doctor dropped by this morning and took some blood and urine from Keegan and have them sent to KK hospital for some lab test. He assured us that it is not Dengue since there are no visible sign and most likely it is just some stupid suspicious non-menacing virus OR .... could be due to DEPRESSION!! He mentioned that Keegan told him he has a white dog called Toto.

Sigh ...
