HIGH FEVER - 41 o C

This morning, I woke up feeling a bit warm but when Daddy checked me with the thermometer, I am 37.1 but I am still jumping and screaming around, having fun. Mummy had to go back to office cos her company has a booth at the Singapore Airshow. After dropping Mummy off to work, we head to Ikea for breakfast. Then, its rushing home to get change to go to Aunty Ros's class.
Once home, I started feeling really hot liao. Daddy checked me and I am burning at 39 degree. Luckily, Mummy came home early. After med, and both Daddy & Mummy started sponging me. And my temp went down to 38.3 but after a while, its started shooting up again to 39.1. Daddy & Mummy then brought me to a clinic in Punggol Plaza. And the doctor gave me paracetomol and Ibrofen. And he says if my temp still continue to be so high at night, he suggest to Daddy to bring me to KKH.
Once home, after eating Ibrufen, my temp went down. But not for long, at 10+, my temp went up again to 39 and the sponging starts again.....and then my temp ding dong up and down.......but at 12midnite, my temp shot up to 40 degree and was shivering away. Daddy & Mummy quickly rushed me to the KKH. Once there, a nurse took my temp....went down to 39.2 and she fed me paracetomol cos the last med I took was Ibrufen at home. Then I was led to see a doctor immediately. She then examined me and confirmed that I am not having any HFM, possibly some fever virus. She prescribed some suppositories, more fever med and I can go home.
By the way we reached home, its already 3am. Seeing that my temp has gone down, Daddy & Mummy KO but luckily at 6am, Mummy woke up and feel me. I am burning HOT again....and the thermometer reads 41 degree. First time I am having such high temp........Mummy quickly shot one suppositories into me and Daddy & Mummy continued sponging me. 1hr later, my temp went down to normal temp and by afternoon, I am back to kicking and playing toys again......What an experience for everyone!!
Why I get such high fever??? Daddy concluded that I must have caught an infection from my wound when I fell from the bus the other day. And seeing that there was no cut, the teachers never wash my wound and Daddy & Mummy didnt realised it until I got the high fever.
