Hugging her makes her comfortable

Since this morning, it's been raining so hard and I observed that my Mom is quite trembling because of too much cold. I give her a coat and pant for her to wear but still, she felt cold. So, I put a thermometer on her armpit to check if she has a fever and yes, she has a fever, her temperature is 38.5 so I give her some meds for fever and some soup for her to drink. I let her sleep and hug her and she felt comfortable. It's almost 4 p.m. and still, she's sleeping and put again the thermometer on her armpit, good her fever subside now. I ask our adoptive brother to look after my Mom, check her temperature every now and then and if possible give her meds if she has still a fever. I'm leaving for home now. I hope she'll be fine.

What could have caused her to have a fever ? The cold weather ?

@ida123 Yes, better do that is her fever won't stop or becomes on and off .

@SIMPLYD that was my concern, too, in case there's an infection or something. @ida123 i guess you'll be following them up and noting down the temperatures. maybe ask them to also make sure she's drinking water.

i don't think it is because her room is fully ac, if her fever won't stop, i'll bring her to her doctor for check up

Is there someone there with her on a daily basis. Your care though for a short while must have done wonders to her.
