The pain and the pus made a lot of fuss on Sunday, 21st February. After having our breakfast, I logged in to my computer. A little later our cleaning maid came and started doing her work.
I went to the living room to get something and saw my mom lying of the sofa. I asked her whether she still had the toothache. She replied in the affirmative. I took out a heating pad to apply heat on her cheek so that she would feel better. When I touched her face it was already hot. She had high fever.
I shifted her to my bedroom, kept the heating pad away and took out ice packs. I also poured cold, refrigerated water in a bowl, soaked a small napkin and put it on her forehead. I kept one ice pack on stomach and applied another on her head. The ice packs were difficult to handle. So, I took out more napkins. I sponged her abdomen, both her arms and her face with the napkins continuously. I took her temperature. It was above 104 F. Maybe, 105 F. I gave her one tablet of Crocin.
As my mom felt that the strong medicines that we got from our doctor’s dispensary were responsible for pulling her down, she did not take them.
As she was in no position to get up and cook, I ordered our meals from a nearby restaurant. By meal time, she felt a little better due to the Crocin tablet that I had given her. We had our meals and then she went to sleep. She again skipped the medicines that we had got from our doctor’s dispensary. Two doses of strong medicines – maybe, antibiotics – missed.
I don’t remember exactly when she started getting chills. But, when she got it, she was shivering terribly. I covered her with a blanket and a mattress. After the chills subsided, temperature rose. This episode kept on repeating the whole day with little respite. I called up our family physician at night and explained everything to him. He said that he would consult his assistant to know what medicines she had prescribed. He called up a little later and asked me to buy one medicine. As I was unable to get the name of the medicine correctly, he asked me to go to the pharmacy and call from there so that he could tell the pharmacist the name of the medicine. I did so and bought a strip of Droxyl Clav 500 (Cefadroxil & Potassium Clavulanate).
After dinner, I gave her Droxyl Clav 500 along with all the tablets that we had got from our doctor’s dispensary except for one that looked similar to Droxyl Clav. One more omission of an important drug, I guess.
That was just what the promoters of Sepsis required for gaining strength – a weakened human body and respite from antibiotic attacks. It was a weekend of celebrations for Septicemia.
