That day, I woke up with a strange feeling. I could not open my eyes. I tried to shout for my mother but no sound came out. I felt hot and was sweating all over. What was wrong with me? Was I dreaming?
After struggling for a while, I managed to call for my mother and she came to my bed. When she hugged me, she found out that my body felt hot and she took my temperature with a thermometer. "What!" she exclaimed. I was running a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. She took me to Dr. Lim's clinic immediately.
At the clinic, Dr. Lim examined me. He told my mother that my throat was inflamed and that could have caused the fever. He gave me some medicine and told me, "No ice-cream, no soft drinks and no games for you. You must stay in bed and get some rest."
After collecting the medicine, we went home. I recovered after two days of rest. It was a horrible experience indeed.
