My son's temperature shot up to 39.2°C. Our thermometer doesn't lie, and I took the reading while he was lying down. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was shivering uncontrollably. I gave him some fever reducer. I suspect he didn't dry his hair properly after swimming and left without a hat. He denies it, saying he dried it well, but our definitions of 'well' differ. He was upset and even angry that he got sick during the holidays. I told him it would be a lesson for him, but he got even more offended. Although, when he softened up, he admitted he likes it when I take care of him. I adjust his pillow, change the compress on his forehead, and bring him drinks. He asked me to sit with him like when he was little. Tomorrow, though, he'll deny it and say it wasn't a big deal. But I, being an anxious mom, hate it when my kids get sick. Any illness, and I turn into a bundle of nerves.
My little one choked on porridge but then coughed it up. Now he's wheezing when he breathes. Should…

Maybe a virus. My youngest was sick at the end of September: 5 days with a fever of 39+. I thought I'd go gray from worry.
Get well soon!

Mataxari Yes, my youngest was sick at the end of October. Then two weeks ago, my oldest brought it home. The little one had a fever for 3 days, then we had 4 days of relief. But since Sunday, the fever is back again. We did a blood test, and it's a virus(((

What does wet hair have to do with a virus?

There isn't just one virus in the world, there are tons! Of course, you can get sick.

A wet head has nothing to do with it. It's a virus.

It's time to understand that this isn't from a wet head 🙈 Don't you see the child is completely innocent in this? Would you like to sit with him like you did in childhood?😱 Do you think he's not a child anymore? It seems like he's been completely neglected since the younger one arrived. Wishing the boy a speedy recovery

A virus, not a wet head. Get well soon, son.

Inna You've got the wrong idea. Your child is already a teenager and is going through that phase where they naturally start to distance themselves from their parents. If you try to hug them, they'll just shrug and say, 'Oh, Mom.' Two weeks ago, our whole family was sick (though not with such a high fever), and he actually said he wasn't little anymore, that he could do everything himself and didn't need everyone hovering around him or controlling everything. So, I'm actually glad he admitted that he needs me.

Irina Wet hair itself isn't a direct cause of illness, but in cold wind, it lowers your immunity, making your body more susceptible to viruses when you encounter them.
